I am a newbie when it comes to wheels.

Nice How much, if you get them let us know how they ride you are jumping into a lower profile tire that could effect your ride. 18" seems like the max to keep the Lex ride...

169 each for 19" (and 159 each for 18")

For a lipped wheel, i would go less then 20 on the LS, or it will look awkwardly proportioned. Additionally, these cars seem to look their best with fuller faced wheels.

Take a few minutes and read up on and familiarize yourself with 1 vs. 2 and 3peice wheels, and the effects of offset (how much a wheel is pushed in or out for the wheel well.)

If you don't get a seizure from sensory overload, I don't know what else can

Wheels are all personal preferences, but for the love of wheel Gods, please don't throw on any lexanis

thumbs down for me also

newbs j/k

What kind of style do you want? The LS is a "big Body" car so big spokes work well, 5 spokes are a classic look so thats the good part.

Check out the vendors forum as well! Good luck

the wheel is not bad looking, just depends what your after.

are you a conservative person....

the only problem I see with that wheel is the size....going 19's on the big LS is tough....

I have some 19's spare laying around, I put them on and just looked sooo funny....probably cause of the low pro tire and sooo much gap...

and then if you go with meaty tires, then wheel looks kinda funny..

have you thaught of going 20's at all?

BMW7_LS430

yes on conservative.

20s would be too big for me. It would be 19" or 18" for me.
I really like the smooth ride with current 17". I wonder if bigger wheels/tires would make it bad.

i'll have to say no on those 19's as well...but i'm not conservative, lols.

WOW! There are some cool wheels in these threads. Suddenly I want to have them but I am sure I won't spend that much.

Then I would rather roll with stocks, just me... don't spend the money when you might regret later. But to each of his own.

Ohh, I had 20's and lowered the car, the ride didn't suffer that much.

i vote for 19's but the ones in the pic look kinda cheap, maybe because they are..

19's are more classy and reserved and can still pull off a decent sized tire 40-45 series sidewall for her comfort.

i am cursed with a very bad problem 'lately' of having only the highest quality taste in rims however since i've been married my rim budget is around that of some cheap knock off imitation second hand curb rashed buy backs.

rims are a tough decision but i always take into account what the end product will look like while trying to decide on a set of rims, i.e. is the car lowered, bodykit, plans for a bodykit, what color is the car, what image are you going for (reserved, balla, mafioso, wannabe mafioso etc...), are there large aftermarket rotors and calipers on said LS, stuff like that??

You car, your wheels. However, whatever style you choose, make sure the offset is correct. I don't think that Moda brand will have the correct offset for our Lexus.

I second getting a set of stock Lexus 18" 5 spoke wheels. It has the right balance of sport and luxury.

Good Luck.
