Those wheels are cheap in price and quality, and imo are not classy enough for an LS430. On a 7 series or s-class its fine but not on the LS. Buy real multi piece or forged monoblock wheels from prestigious brands like Work, OZ, WALD, Maya, etc

Yup, definitely start with the wheels and a drop. Then I would work on the body kit and exhaust. That's the order at least I did. And can't agree enough with going with a "dish type" wheel. Here is my car...

To each of their preference, for me.....DUB style is not about how classic & nice clean look of the vehicle, it's all about FLASHY & attracting attention.
DUB style started from rappers & football players......and u know those people have sh!!t loads of money but no taste in everything.

To me, those look sharp . . . I'm in the same predicament. I've owned some 19" Volks for my sports car, but for the LS, I don't see the need for a forged or light weight rim since I have no plans to race the bad boy
