Not a fan of starcorps... If I'd known you were going tempe rims I would have suggested Equips over those. They're still five spokes,but run dish and have a much cleaner look than what's there now.
Those are better than the std 17's for sure,but wouldn't have been my first choice in your position.

They're much better. a bit narrow,but the offset is ok,they'll sit decently,and can run the std tyre for the kouki wheels.
What are the coilovers? I might be interested in a few weeks once I have my own 430. (fingers crossed)

Were you referring to the original wheels or the LS600H wheels? I can see how the original wheels would remind you of the product hawked on the old-time infomercials (before they were called that).
BTW, I like those LS600H wheels.

The suspension is the BC Racing $1300 from justjap delivered. If I go stock ill sell however I may buy the LS600 Wheels however im not sure how they will look on the LS430 and if they can run on stock height or will look better lowered.
Does anyone have a pic on the ls600 wheels on an ls430

If he claims that they can "fit" any lexus (114.3) , then they're replicas or he didn't know the 460 have a different bolt pattern

those wheels don't look good to me on an LS 430 but thats my opinion, i think more IS or possibly even GS but not LS.
BTW i paid $850 (CL vendor discount for CL members) to my door for new bc racing coilovers for my 05 ls430. your price seemed a little on the high side if you ask me.

The price of the cars themselves here is high compared to the US,don't get me started on parts. Don't forget the currency conversion on that price also..
The only break with pricing we get is in getting gear from japan,we pay less than you guys do by far on average. Less demand for the same gear,and more of our own guys over there sending stuff back.
CelsiorAus: the ebay rims look ok. It's quite possible that they're copies,but for the price they're not a bad deal. I wouldn't suggest that you dump the coilovers so fast if you're happy with how the car drives on them either. Fit some wheels that you like the look of,set the height for a nice stance,drive it and enjoy.
