Another pic:

Your camera took such a sharp photo the car almost looks like a model

Thanks.. it's only a 3.1mp point-and-shoot camera. So was yours repainted to straight black or is that factory? Name of the color? I never knew Lexus had different shades of black.

Very nice car. I bought a 96 with the same color and 140K miles, paying only $5,600.

i just put my old g35 coupe 18" rims on my dads 99 Ls400...They fit perfectly they didn't even need the hubcentric rings...i bought some but i didn't need to

use them...All i had to buy were new lugnuts...the 18s cleared my brembos and they cleared the ls' calipers easy...the +30 offsets are perfect, they sit flush

with the fenders...just posting in case anyone was curious if they would work.

He's right.
toyota has 60.1mm bores and nissan is 66.1mm bores , so their is a 6mm gap. The spacer you need are hard to find but i have the same ones for my OZ's.

i think in my case the lug nuts i bought keep the wheels absolutely center...they don't go on top of the wheel but they go inside the holes really snug...I have
zero whobble and they ride smooth...

the point of hub rings isnt to CENTER the wheel, the weight of the car is supposed to be on that central hub, hence all toyota cars are known to be HUBCENTRIC as opposed to the lugs taking the full weight of the car (known as lugcentric)

u are very likely to break/snap a wheel stud and watch one of ur wheels go flying past you while your driving if u dont have hubrings...

ic...when i put the rims on the hub it felt pretty snug though...i even got a second opinion from a tire shop and they said it was fine...i guess ill put the rings on just to be on the safe side...
