that rim is hot but I think I like the Lowenhart LDR's better. since 20" is the size to go with, I would get the staggered fit, 20x9.5 in the front, 20x10.5 in the rear with the car lowered.. I think I know the kit as well, JP full kit including front/rear bumpers, side skirts, rear deck lid spoiler, roof spoiler, chrome grill, stainless steel exhaust and then I would get the Wald sport replacement fenders. with a nice tint all around and the HID's for both headlights and fog lights that car will look awesome...

usally with 20's you would use 20x9 and 20x10 if you go with 20x9.5 and 20x10.5 you will have to roll your fenders or else it will rub

the wald kit is awesome for the ls430, very classy, subtle, but yet different, i love it

i actaully don't like the fender thingy

oh and i personally think 21 would be killer on the LS

I like the Wald body kit too but I think on a dark color car it won't show as much as on a white or silver color. by looking at the pictures of the black LS, you can tell slightly that it has a kit and it is very classy but I would like something that people can tell right away that it's hooked. and the Junction kit gives it that look and it still adds that elegance and at the same time the sportiness of the car. plus i think the Wlad fenders would top it off as you will not see too many with those fenders.

i would like 21" too but not too many choices. Lowenhart has the LD5 which is so so and the LD1 and I actually did find 2 places who carry the LDR in 21" but one place said they don't carry the rim in that size anymore and the other said I would have to wait...

do you guys like a all chrome grill or just the default one????

personally i prefer the stock one more. never a really big fan of chrome anyway

but yes i agree, wald is very subtle, which is what i like sometimes. don't want the car to stand out too much

I like the wald but I think the junction produce kit would really set your car off..It's not too wild and you know theres something different on the car, but you may have to look twice to notice..

Hello everyone, I'm a new member to the Forum and very glad to be here. I have been very blessed to be able to have a Black LS430 Ultra with black interior and my question to everyone is I am very interested in the Wald kit, but I do not want to go with the bigger tires since I love the comfortable ride. I presently have 17's could I go with these or can I go with 18's and not ruin my ride. Any information that could be provided would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

18's will give you a slightly bumpier ride, but it wont kill you, also tires play a big part on how much of the road vibrations you will feel.

The LS430 Euro-tuned has 18" wheels AND a sportier suspension. Your ultra with 18" wheels should still have a more comfortable ride than that. If you can find an opportunity to test drive one, see if the ride is acceptable to you.
