It looks nice, but pokes out a bit too far IMO. Don't change it if you like it as is (it's your car), but if you want that same stance as Gato, you'll need to not only lower it but add more negative camber to tuck it in the wheel wells. Out of curiosity are you running spacers on rears?

Needs to go lower, but they look really good!

Nice find …you don’t come across these oz’s in 20” often. These rims look good on any ls430’s. Waijai, I don’t think these are Gato’s because he’s got the grey facing. Going by the pic's these look polished unless they were redone.

looks good, a little work and lowering the car would look perfect.

depends on your budget and what your needs are.

Springs, coilovers, air suspension, air suspension with coils?

you just scored a serious set of rare wheels for cheap. GL and keep us in the loop with the build.
