Even the nicest stock rims will not be good enough for many here, they have to get at least 20's to 22's with nice fat lips, so what's the point ?

The 19" 7-spoke on the LS600hL (not the one shown on the previous page) are not too bad, as well as the other 19" on the accessories sheet posted in the other thread, they are nicer looking than the 18" standard wheels on the LS460 & LS460L . . .

Of course not, the more I look at them, the more I think they aren't too much better than the pie plates . . .

On lexus.com it says the 18" 'spider' rims are available as an option for the SC - maybe those are the ones you're referring to Henry. I think those are the rims available for the GS430?

439 is US, 442 is bhp.

almost none existance. was talking to a few of my co workers about it. and i we were taking about. u paid 150k approx and there is no space for golf clubs. actuality there is but very small. take what u see now in a ls430 and cut 60% of it and the 40% is what the ls600 has
