What package would this be (somewhat loaded 2005 LS430)
Looking at a '05 LS430 that has the 5 wide spoke 18s, stitched leather on dash and armrests, radar cruise, headlight washers, 4 heated seats (A/C front), rear power sunshade, Mark Levinson, etc. but NOT the rear fridge, rear A/C in the roof or rear armrest control panel (just the rear heated seat buttons). Also no suspension "height" switch by the shifter.
Seems like a mix of just "some" of the Ultra features.....
Can I presume this car does NOT have air suspension?

Correct, no air suspension, and it's one model below the Ultra, but one model above the Modern Luxury.

Custom Lux Package w/sport
I have an '05 Custom Lux package, same options, but it came with six spoke wheels. The five spoke ones are on the sport package. Does it say Sport Suspension on the front fenders?

I thought the same thing, no badges but as I understand it, some had no badges. It drives fantastic.

Custom luxury has laminated side glass that the ML does not. Also, the stitched dash is a custom leather option, aniline I believe, and most cars have 18" without sport...my rule of thumb is I would only want a larger diameter rim, if the tire is wider (not if the tire is the same like on many cars)....this is true on the LS430

I think the 18s are 245 wide while the 17s are 225. In any case I like the style of the 18s a lot more.
