They look better on the LS400 and LS430 than they do on the LS460. They're pretty bland and look like they belong on a Camry. These wheels look terrible on the LS460 and make it look like a giant ES350.

Pretty sure they're replicas as the 460 and 440 don't share bolt patterns unfortunately

I like shiny objects... especially my wheels...little on the dull side for me... but at least we know they fit.

The only way to get them to fit is with adapters. A member on the LS400 forum posted some pictures of his car with these wheels and adapters on.

I find it weird Lexus changed the bolt pattern of the LS. All of the other sedans use a 5x114.3 patterns if I'm not mistaken.

+1. Changing the bolt pattern was a really odd move

I will pass, seems to make the wheel well look vacant.

Toyota saw the BMW style 95's being put on the LS400's so they wanted to make the swap easier for the LS460 owners.

Lol maybe. But the further you put the wheel away from the hub the more problems you run into.

i gotta agree, way too boring of a wheel to come on a car like the LS.

Yeah, it doesn't make any sense to me.

Now that you mention it a lot of Lexus guys put those wheels on their cars. Now you don't need a giant adapter to put them on.

These adapters always look massive to me. I figured it would be dangerous to run them.

Yeah, they're way too boring for the LS430. They might look alright on a bone stock tan LS460 with the boring tan interior. Boring looking wheels for a boring looking car.
