damn those rims look real clean for being so old....
well done! i was leaning torwards the same direction with my car
i did the dual magnaflow mufflers with nice tips and going for more of a sporty look rather than VIP or anything else...
i was looking for some like 19'' or 20'' gunmetal rims with around the tire size you got...
but now im trying to get a diffrent lexus that i can afford maybe LS400 because im trying to give this back to my dad he kind of controls my life with it ( go do this or im taking the car away and stuff like that)
being that im only 17 and still in high school with a part time job
so for now the mods stopped

Looks good actually.
I normally hate black rims but this one alright
Those rotors do help improve the looks since the 5 spokes wheel exposes the area more.
For Shlomboy. If you are looking for an LS400, here's an inspiration (from D2-our wheel vendor):

To MikeMareen, if those are Wald D23's and you are thinking of selling them, I would be interested. I wanted those, but can no longer get them new (discontinued).

Looking good! I like the color of the wheels, I think the tires are too fat IMO, I think you should have went w/ 265 or the most 275 in the rear and 245 in the front....but again my opinion. Once you drop the car...it will def. give it a completely new look.....more gangsta/mafia I would say...lol......I def. want to see more pics once it is dropped.....

Im looking at buying a black or Grey LS 430. I like the black or Grey face wheels with the silver lip. Whats the best wheel / tire size to get and what are opinions out there for the nicest looking wheels?

I have a 2003 Ultra with Luff D2, 20" x 8.5 staggered, Nitto NT555 255/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rear. Tires have 31,000 miles on them and are just needing to be replaced. When I bought the LS I was looking for a black one, I found this blue onyx pearl and was blown away by how great this color is.

OK, so here's what I decided on. Nothing really out of the ordinary but I liked the way the finish product looked. I was really torn between this and the Black Chrome because it really does look hot. After I talked to Majid at Atlas Plating he said that all chrome (traditional or color finished) will eventually flake, peel, bubble, rust, or delaminate! He highly recommended the powdercoat face, polish lip combination for the best everyday use and overall life of the wheel. As an added bonus, you can polish the lip to be almost as shiny as Chrome with no rust issues or peeling! The next plan of attack is to lower it. I don't have a UL so the DataController isn't an option. I'm just having some LSportline Springs installed to compliment the LSportline Wheels. Tell me what you think.

Mine has the ultra package. I really like the handling with the 20" wheels when the air suspension is in the 'sport' mode. (I have owned lots of sports cars over the years)

Your ride is sic bud! Im looking to buy a Flint LS430 but cant decide between the Sport w/ Modern Luxury package, Custom Luxury Package and Ultra Luxury Package. Looks like yours has the Sport and Modern Package? How do you like it? Miss anything the other packages offer?

Thanks for the props... Mine is the Sport/Modern Lux. I did consider the Ultra but changed my mind after taking the possibilities of all the electrical components failing and reading about the issues with the double paned windows. For me this was the overall best package because it had the most important options I wanted... Navi Touch Screen and the Sport Suspension. I don't miss anything with this one. Good luck choosing... these cars are great.
Thanks for the advice. Does your mod/sport have bluetooth as well?
