Wow, different look but, I like it! Wish they had better looking factory standard rims for the LS! BMW and Mercedes have a leg up on Lexus with that. They should look at the pictures you did with GS wheels on the LS to get an idea of style for standard wheels. They make the car more attractive and your car with the GS wheels looks like a cool version of the LS because of the wheels of the GS! Good pictures!

L.G.N.M

thanks for the compliments guys....maybe it was the tires that were on those wheels...the car drove like sh$#. additionally my car is lowered with Tein CS!!! which gives it the aggressive stance!

I like the look, but for some reason, the rims look too small on the Ls

Needs better offset in the back - but looks good though...

Looks pretty good! Fronts cleared brakes with no issues or spacer needed?

Do you recall what size tires you have/had on the wheels (especially compared to the OEM sizing for the LS430 18" sizes of 245/45-18).

I haven't searched yet for G-Spyders, curious how they would look as well.

Looks good JDM
If you want a cushier ride, go with 235/50 like me

I see a white one running around with those 18 GS wheels.
I'll see if I can snap a picture.
