Default GS430 wheels on my LS400 - check it out

I actually bought these rims a few months ago and I'm finally posting some pictures, better late than never I guess. Anyways the rims are in great conditions and actually came with factory brand new tires (needless to say I got a bada$$ deal). Personally, I wanted to stay with Lexus factory rims, not aftermarket. Guys, let me know what you think of how my lexo ride looks. Is anybody else rolling with the same GS400 rims?

Hello,

I always wanted to know how those wheels look on the LS, but I must say I dont like it. The wheels look to smooth for the LS. The LS needs wheels like the SC430 ones.

thanks for the comments heyhowyado, puredrifter. I actually was looking for the 18 LS430 rims for about a year, but never came across a set. The GS430 was complete luck. I picked up a local newspaper a few months back and saw an ad selling a "near new" set of GS430 with less than 3k miles on the factory tires. Logically had to get them & jump on the deal. Drove about 30 minutes from my house to pick-up these bad boys. The seller was not kidding, the rims and tires were practically new. I guess now I'm not looking as hard for LS430 18's anymore, but definitely would like to get my hands on a set at some point.

Not to hate on the comment or on the SC430-rims-on-an-LS look, but Christian I would much rather roll with the original factory steelies and hub-caps than the SC430 rims. I seen the set-up, and it's definitely not for me.

Here's a couple more pictures

Not a bad choice there. Def looks realy good, especially for the deal. I am with you on the SC430 wheel setup. I think I have only seen it once b4 from a member here, and I just wasnt feelin it.
