Default What do you think about these wheels?

Hey all I have an 02' Ls430 in white. Thought these wheels would look sick!

Lorinsor wheels


I think the chrome would look great but I'm not sure if I want to deal with air leaking issues.

I just cannot see the LS430 with another set of wheels rather than the OEM.

I like them. I think they'll look as great as they do on the 430 in the pic!

Since you asked, I think they look horrible. But what I think doesn't matter... If YOU like them, go for it.

They look like lorinser wheels. I say leave lorinser to Mercedes cars and get a different set of wheels. I wasn't a fan of those when my friend had them on a lorinser body kitted s class.

That turbine blade look was pretty common some years back and there were some JDM wheels that patterned similar to the Lorinser wheels. I liked the look and we've seen other MB wheels on Lexus cars like Carlsson wheels1-6, 2-6 1-16, etc. Wald Duchatlet is similar in style to the 1-6.

Looks good to me but I think it would look better in a brushed or silver finish.

Not my cup of tea, look like hubcaps....of course I am not a fan of a lot of open space on rims for big cars...they probably look much better in person and if you like them...rock those bad boys
