I prefer the OEM 430 wheels you had on over the Lsportlines.

I had thought that. Reason I wont sell them anymore.

I just needed a small step away from OEM...nothing crazy, but something wider. The L-sportlines were an inch wider, i could use them with my current tires, and they stick out more in the rear.

And drifter...you dont know what kinda stuff ive got laying around in my room

Thinking of wheels...I like the '97 Coach/'98 LS wheels. When I had the stock one on as my spare, I was tempted to take the L Sportlines off and roll for a bit with the old wheels. The 18" LS430 wheels I do like.

It will look nicer lowered.

Default I went through Discount Tire & Wheel America

A while back I went though the local Discount Tire (Austin, TX) who sent my wheel to Wheel America (I believe) who were located in Dallas. My TRD rim was slightly bent and had some scratches. I paid $125 (2 yrs ago) and was extremely pleased with the results. The rim came back like it was brand spanking new and looked awesome. The cosmetics were slightly off compared to the remaining rims - - just so you know - - if that bothers you then you should send all 4. My rims are not chrome, so not sure how that could end up, but overall I was very pleased w/ Wheel America / Discount Tire.
