Default 21's on a LS430!

Does anyone have or have seen 21 inch wheels on an LS430. I am trading in my 01 IS300 next month for a 02 LS430 UL and want to go as big as possible. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Lowenhart LD-1's are made in 21's, but are very played out. Dronell had a couple styles available in 21's, but they'll be hard to find because I think they went out of business. Also, Giovanna Drama's are made in 21's.

IMO, I would wait for Auto Couture to come out with their Indicator wheel in 21's. It is scheduled to be released some time this year from what I hear. This wheel and the LD-1's would be the best quality out of all the one's mentioned.

My friend just put 21's on his 1999 LS400. If the older model can fit them, I'm pretty sure that the 2002 LS430 will e able to fit them. Just ask some of your reputable wheel shop----the ones that sell a large amount of Lowenhart and high quality wheels, and they should be a ble to tell you. If you want, there is a shop down here in Florida---i'll try to swing by there and ask them. All they do is upsacle wheels on luxury cars---he's got a brand new escalade on 23's. I'll let you know---PM me so i don't forget!

CaliLuv- sorry, I guess I just listed different 21's available, but I didn't really answer your question. The LS430 can definitely take 21's with a little room to spare. I've seen the LD-1's on the LS430 at my local rim shop (I think it was an athelete's car). It looked pretty good. The only thing I didn't like was that it was 21x8.5 all around with no option for larger widths.

I currently have a 2001 Lincoln LS on 20's, but will be purchasing a 2003 Lexus LS430. I plan to put 21's or 22's on im not sure yet. If I go with 21's, I will definitely get the giovanna dramas. A kid in my area has one on 22's, he had to get some wheel well work done

What does an Ls430 run, like 60k? And your going to toss $2500 knockoff wheels on it?

GS400_Pusher- what part of Maryland are you from? I used to live in Clinton (I was born in DC). I used to buy all my wheels at Auto Accessories in Capital Heights way back in the day before they closed down. I remember back in '96 being one of the first people rollin' on dubz on a Lex coupe. Anyway, I go back to visit quite often so maybe I'll give you a holla next time I'm back to see your ride.

CaliLuv- I saw that black LS430 with 21" LD-1's this weekend...definitely tight. Although, I'd probably stick to 20's, lower it and do an aggressive phat lip set up like the Fabulous Profounds.
