Talking New to the forum

Hey guys, My names is Usman and im new to the forum. i currently own an 04 LS430 and also have a 99 LS400 as my DD..(too sweet to call a beater). Anyway, i wanted to know if the 5 spoke SC430 Rims would fit on my 99LS. If not what has to be done to make them fit.

I love OEM wheels b/c of the strength an finish. Living in NY an having an Office in Brooklyn means my cars take a beating, and im not trying to replace bent up after market rims every 2-3 months. Any input would be appreciated guys. Thanks Again

PS: If anyone coould even do a Photochop of a 98-00 LS with sc430 rims...that would also be greatly appreciated

Default easily bent

I seen my share of bent sc 430 rims due to potholes. The main contributor could be the low profile tires. You may want to stay with the stock ls wheels because the tires would provide more of a cusion.

Hey welcome to CL, nice couple of cars you have. As for wheels, the 18" LS430 wheels look nice on our cars.
