I found these 18" wheels for the LS430 at a Lexus dealer's web site in the UK. Has anyone seen these offered in the US anywhere? I'm going to write to them and see what they're asking for them. They are very unique looking, like a reverse of the 17" wheels.

 

Those are pretty good looking OEM wheels...instead of that nasty **** they offer here (the stock LS430 wheels)...I'd MUCH rather have those...

But then again, if I had a LS430 (even if had the UK wheels), I'd still put 20's on it...

Actually, those rims, with a nice deep lip, in 20" (one piece forged) would look great...damn, I might just have to get into the wheel business!

 

18's are about the biggest I would go, I like a little sidewall with my tires. I'm a little worried the 18s may be a bit too stiff. I don't want to lose the cushy ride, though a bit firmer would be ok. If I find out any more info on these wheels, I'll post it.

 

Please keep me posted on your findings...i would be interested in obtaining them as well (albeit in chrome)..

 

ST430,

I wrote to several UK dealers to ask about availability, export, pricing, etc. No one has yet to respond. When I get the chance, I'll send another set of messages, and if I hear anything, I'll certainly let you know.
