Default Where to shop for wheels

I have a 2018 LC500 with the 20" all aluminum (no black paint) wheels. Where do you suggest I begin my search for new wheels/rims? I have no interest in changing the size of either the tire or wheel just swapping rims for something less boring. Thanks everyone

I myself have been hitting the wheel websites, HRE, Vossen, Vorsteiner. Butler Tite is a nice resource as is tire rack. I wish I could find Japanese wheels.

Not that volume should drive your decision, but Vossen seems to have done more LC wheels than anyone. They have lots of examples in their image galleries. A good resource to at least decide on a style and finish you might like. Speaking of finish - most aluminum wheels are powder-coated, not painted. Personally, I've been very happy with my Vossens.

Surely you'll be happy with any choices from either company. But if you want the best and lightest, go with full forged wheels. Costs more of course.

Question Another Tires/Wheels thread

I searched through and found some great information. I am looking to get some aftermarket 21x9.5 front and 21x11 rear. From what I saw in other threads I should not expect and rubbing with the extra width. Correct me if I am wrong...

Secondly, it was suggested that I get 255/40-21 front and 305/35-21 rear tires. Finding a matching set has not been a fun task. Any suggestions on brands to keep my eye out for? I can go either runflats or nah...

You could fit 12s in back. But keep in mind with odd rim sizes the tire sizes are kinda slim.

10” front with 265 tire and 11.5” rear with 305 fit with zero rubbing on a lowered LC. Mine are 22” but same idea on 21” with the right sidewall. 295 rear works too but a little stretched on 11.5”. Will work fine on 11” rear.

Michelin has the 265/295 or 255/295 combo
Pirelli has 265/305

Good luck and post pics when done
