The SC wheels are an ok combo. Although common, the LS430 wheels are a nicer compliment IMO. Even some of the GS wheels, pick a generation.

There are much nicer wheels out there. I vote no. Most people with the SC's get rid of those.

The digitally edited size is also misleading...they will not look that big on the car.

Default My wheel choice post.....

I want to get wheels that are flat faced. They look the best on the LS. IMO. show me some wheels like that. Because I want to stick with 18'' or 19''. In the picture I admit they look like 22'', which is rediculous. I want a clean look,. less is more IMO. So if anyone wants to post some suggestions.. feel free. Thanks.

mrr hr3.

cheap and sized in 18+19in. (full faced wheels tend to look bigger than they are)

search for the "wheel fitment" thread.

with the right fitment, you can get away with it...I have a 1st gen LS with the SC wheels on it, but I needed 30mm spacers in the rear, and 25mm in the front, and I'm still not flush...#justsayin...I'll post pics up later to my garage
