Default LF-A replicas ordered

So I just picked up my GS430 a week ago, can with some ugly pitted chrome 18's that have spacers in the front. Was looking for a set of stock gs 18s but came across these & figured its close enough to stock with a bit of flare to it. I should have them friday & depending on what time they get here via fedex ill have them mounted same day or saturday...ill keep you guys posted with pics.

has these...


ordered these

Any idea if Lexus center caps are a direct fit?

I dig those wheels, nice finish too.

matte finish gunmetal, went with the stock 18...my tires are pretty much brand new & I wanted to keep the ride as comfortable as possible, so no go on 19/20in.

YES. OEM Caps do fit! Get the ISF Center Caps!!!



one thing to note: i read that these wheels do not take OEM lugs... so you can probably continue to use those aftermarket lugs on these wheels.

Since joining the forum, I've long considered these wheels on mine, when I got it.
Now that I have, someone else decides to beat me to it.



Love that paint colour, but don't think the matt gunmetal works with it.
Needs a more contrasting colour to look right.
I hope the OP's doesn't do the same blending in to the point of being almost invisible trick, with his solid black paintwork.
I'd be more leaning toward hyperblack or a custom dark silver, if the brighter silver was too OEM.

I hate being the first to ask, but how far of a hole did that burn in your pocket? I'm sure LF-A wheels are a bit pricey, right?
