Aftermarket wheels
I'm looking at downsizing the 18" (to 17") wheels that came with my LS430 when I bought it used a year ago at a Lexus dealer.
On Tire rack there are various options for the wheel construction. What is the best wheel construction?

be sure you research the difference in readouts on your speedometer...

Have you considered the 17" oem wheel options? Probably the best bet in terms of quality.

Are you suggesting used wheels? If not where can I buy these wheels?
Just research the rim and make sure there rims dont grenade. Because safety is more important than anything else in my opinion. |
I have a set of oem 17" chrome 7 spoke wheels, message me if you'd like to purchase them

I highly recommend sourcing used wheels from another member here on ClubLexus. People are always going to aftermarket wheels and offloading their old stockers. or You can usually find a good deal on stocks on craigslist as well, in my area I see 4-5 different sets for our cars. It gets a bad rep but if youre smart there are plenty of deals to be had.

I am gonna say this again but no one listens just get a 17 enkie wheel and tire package for $1500 off tire rack the type of rim how its made does not matter unless you are looking for performance then there is a huge difference but i am assuming that like everyone else on this forum you want to just drive your car and leave it bone stock so yah enkie rim tire package off of tire rack call it a day.

The OEM Chromed wheels should be avoided, IMO. The chrome plating will eventually begin to flake off usually in the area where the tire bead holds air pressure. Slow leaks and flats will ensue.
The only sure fix would be to have each wheel stripped of it's chrome and repolished or powdercoated for appearance and all that will end up costing more than a set of Enkie wheels in the design of your preference. |
Anyone got a link to some Enkei wheels that will fit LS430?

chrome wheels get a bad reputation because of the weather conditions. I live in a dry climate and have had chrome wheels on my last 4 cars. no problems.
