Allow me to introduce myself...
What's up ClubLexus (LS430 forum). Just wanted to say what's up to everyone. I'm new to the forums as a member, but I used this site as a reference tool before I bought my car at the end of August. It is an '05 LS430 dropped on 20" JLine wheels with HKS coilovers. Here are some pics...
I've been taking a lot of crap from friends of mine for rockin "non-JDM" wheels, but I like what I got and I LOVE the car.
I'm pretty set on the Artisan Spirits 4pc kit, the Artisan Spirits roof spoiler, and the JP three piece trunk wing, so I'll be ordering that within the next few weeks. However, I don't plan on installing the kit until sometime early next year because I didn't just want to throw everything on there at once -I want to feel like my car is evolving. The car came with gold plated emblems which I will obviously be taking off and I'll most likely replace them with Toyota Celsior badges. Other basic mods such as brakes, rain guards, etc. will probably be done before the kit goes on.
I'm not out for any particularly categorized look (VIP, EXC, DUB, etc.), and I'm probably not going to turn this into another show car. (My wife and I have a white 2001 Widebody Celica that has showed for the last two to three years.) Just out to build an everyday car that I can enjoy for years to come. I look forward to seeing you guys around, and I'll talk to you guys soon!

Goodluck with the buildup.

Your car looks just right! I think these wheels are perfect for the 04-06 body style. They make the car look more sporty as well as more classy...
Rain Guards..? ON the windows? Personally, I think it will ruin the clean look of the car. But the Celsior emblems would be nice...

What's up guys, thank you all for the warm welcome and the encouraging comments.
Kentzz, I can tell you that I'm rocking 20x8.5fr and 20x10.5. Unfortunately, I can't disclose offsets due to JLine not wanting to take responsibility for fitment advice. = T Sorry about that!
KILLER, I'm actually going to be changing wheels pretty soon. So, if you're interested in the wheels, let me know! They'll be going up on the boards soon.
Actually, I might be selling the car altogether. I've gotten a smokin offer on an LS460, so that might be my new route. I'll keep you guys posted though!
