ok i have a 92 LS400 and i can not find any wheels that i want, with out spending $5000 on just the rims....what would you guys do not this case stop B.S.ing about it and find an affordable pair of rims, that i can live with or stay with the orginal saw blade rims for now and get a nice body kit in it

 

you can get some real nice forged ones for around $2300. check the vendors forum.

 

Based on what you commented, you have selected some very $$$ ones...plenty of quality modest priced wheels abound...what is in the works for your car and what do you like?

Since you have the O***s now, I'd consider the recent OEM wheels. The LS 430 sport 18" 5 spokes will fit and can be had for about $1K. Otherwise, a variety of 17" and 16" to choose at reasonable prices.

 

i guess i would be embarrased to say, but i only spent 700 total on all four wheels... 18x8.5

 

i am very very picking on the rims i want... must haves: a lip, and rivets, all the rims that look nice to ME are very expencive, and modest priced ones i can not just find a nice looking one yet.... i tryed on some 20" axis rims today 20x9 245/35/20 F 20x10 275/30/20 B.... for $1800 with tires, pretty new, but as you all know have rubbing... the 20x9 fit in the back better....... the other thing that i would like to do is put a kit on it like cutecboy, i think that it is clean looking. just have to find out how much that kit was

 

I've been told that they don't make the Rando kit anymore (I still think they do because it's in the '04 vipcar catalog), but he says (he thinks) he got his for around $1600.

 

not including shipping hahahha

 

oh man, you can tell that was an evil laugh.. lol

 

cool thanks.... hey cutecboy do you have the web site to the companies of the body kit and spoiler..... i was i might go with a wings west body kit and a junction produce 3 piece wing

 

He probably doesn't .....

MAC WORLD BLICK makes a kit that looks like Charlton's Rando kit but with foglights.
As for the wheels, why don't u check wheels market forum. There some great deals out there: 19-inch VOLK AV3, Tommy is selling his SSR, GSXOTIC is selling his WORK all for a great price tag.

 

I don't know what's going on recently in the wheels market, but the competition has driven the price downward quite a bit. If you are looking for a well built wheels with lips and rivets (indicates multi-pieces) you should be ready to pay some money. Again, I commonly refers this as like buying a car. If you want something nice, well built, reliable, great appearance and comfortable then you should expect to pay more than a Honda Civic or Accord.

 

IMHO, i love the stock chrome wheels, very classy!!!

well it has come down to this i am either going to get the Giovanna Genoa cause they come in a 19x9, or 18x8.5 or the Gianelle 5twin 18x7.5... my dad works for a company that supplies the rivets to them so they can give me a good price... i got quoted $1400 for some 19" Kobe, but after finding a front shot of the wheel i do not like them any more

i am leaning towards tge Genoa cause 1. they come in 19" and 2. if i go with the 18" i can get the staggered look 18x7.5 - 18x8.5

 

did you look at the group buy for Iforged wheels in the vendors forum? The company is D2autosport or visit the web site. Good luck
