Default ClubLexus Poll:rims for a 2004 ls430

I am undecided on which wheels to go with for my ls430 I am thinking on going with a staggered setup 20x9 in the front and 20x10 in the rear my choices are wald s21's ,work equip's, or maido RT5 wheels I know I want the wheels to be silver with a polished lip or if I go with the maido wheels I will with go with machined right know I am leaning more towards the wald wheels

wald s21

Tough choice between the Wald Streifen and the Work Equips...you really can't go wrong with either of them. However, I can't say that the Maido's would fit the '04 LS as well as the other two due to having such thinner spokes...it belongs more on a sportier car IMHO.

I'm guessing the following 2 pics was what led you to this dilemma?

BTW, I just noticed that the Wald Streifen S21's are forged...that makes my choice sway a 'lil towards the Wald side.

I'm posting these so that everyone can get a better idea of what they'd look like on an '04 LS (even though the ones in the pics are modified), and give their own opinions.

You should start a new thread in the Photoshop forum for that. I'm sure one of the PS gurus would be able to do it for ya.

I personally think the Wald wheels look better without the rivets on an '04...gives it a much cleaner look to it.

What kind of lip action can you get with the Walds? They look good but dont seem to give up the JDM badass lip action. Especially on a car like the LS with its ability to run a 9 and 10 set up.

kid..

that wald wheel only offer one offset in the 9+10s..both +37 f+r..so only one size lip is available

either work or wald is great..btw, does that wald s21 remind you of hamman wheel? looked good though
