Default LS460 wheels on LS430 w/Pics

I came across this car and it has the ls460 18" wheels. I remember in the past people had ask about putting them on the ls430. Here are some pictures so everyone could get a idea of what they would look like. I know this guy have to use 5x120 to 5x114.3 adapters.

They look better on the 430 than in the 460 IMO.I wonder how the 19 in 5 star ls460 would look on the 430?

Really dull. Belong on a Camry or Corolla.

Yep I agree - don't like the look at all...kinda boring - it might even be worse in chrome even though I like chrome wheels in general - a little bit Camryesque to me - but hey everybody has a different eye and taste so if they like it, good on them.

I've always felt 5 spokes are best, 6 still good, bit more and it's just blah...

I don't like em very much on this year...

I do think they'll look better on my wife's 06 Odyssey, same bolt pattern too, might give it a try. I have tried M3 wheels, but they stick out too far in the rear.

Looks sick.

I know its hard to believe but some people actually like the simple elegant look the vehicle was designed as, and dont want the gaudy look of ugly *** ghetto wheels.

Not bad looking. Not great either. Not a fan of using adapters to make wheels fit. Spacers and adapters tend add vibrations.

If that was 2" or lower it might get a nicer feel, at stock height, so-so. Fitment looks decent.
