i am looking for a set of deep dish rims and tires 18" to 20" for my 96 LS400 my budget is $2k

is there anything worth buying in that price range that has chrome and a nice lip?

 

good luck.

 

2k for two wheels in the front.

 

oh well forget the $$$ constraint any. that is what credit cards are made. i just want the rims before my car comes out of the shop in 2 weeks(96 to 98 front conversion).

what is a good dish rim?

 

you should post this question in the tires and wheels forum. BTW how much did the conversion cost you?

 

about $3K in parts

about $4k in labor(but that includes a paint job for the whole car)

 

I think LECS Gestalt Varouge would look nice on the LS...not a bad price either for 18x8.5 chrome wheels.

 

good taste these were the rims i was thinking about:

Thanks...likewise...BUT those are knock-offs of Lowenhart LD-1's...say it ain't so! I was thinking about getting the LD-1's but got a better deal on some SC430 wheels.

 

So you paid $7k altogether... How many miles do you have on your '96? Was there any body damage to your car before you took it in for the conversion?

 

yeah, i know. strait knock-offs of the LD1's.

that is why i decided not to get them and turned to the forum.
(they also cost less than half the price, that also made me think twice)

to JAC JZS: my 96 has 92,000 and too many scratches and swirl marks

 

Phew...that's good to hear.

 

Brian,

Lets see your rims. This is healerhand. The guy hook you up with Keyes Lexus. I have a 90LS. I want to see your rims. I am saving some money for those rims.

 

Oh...hey...I was wondering where you've been. Sorry I wasn't to post up any pics. I had a friend's friend take a few pics of my car....he said he would send them to me and it's been awhile, but no luck so far. If you want to see them that badly I can PM you my # so we can meet somewhere in LA or DB (whichever you prefer). Thanks again for the hookup...my car has been getting a lot more attention with the wheels (i.e. random people asking me what I did to it, what year it is, etc.).

 

How about DB Starbucks at Fairway and Colima? Please email me info@lextreme.com I want to get some for my car too.
