will look nice and should clear brakes without issues.

either works, its a matter of personal choice.

The LS430 18" Rims are so hard to find. These are $640 a set right now, what to do!

yeah, I think those wheels would look good. There's a guy here in orlando with those rims on his 98 ES and they look fantastic. Personally I'd get spacers so they sit flush. Either choice will look good.

I don't know where you were planning on purchasing the rims, but you can use the coupon code "BIG" at Sewell for 20% off. I think it expires the 31st...

Using "BIG", the price goes to $680. Using "Wheel" the price is $640

Any pictures of a 98-00 LS400 with these rims on?

Has anyone bought a set from them yet? I'm looking at the LS430 18's.. they're factory take-offs, right? So pretty much brand new condition?

Lets see if anyone can chime in..
