So, I took the plunge and bought my rims. It took a while for me to decide these.
I wasn't sure about this style on the lex but then I saw this pic on this forum.
Even though there's a difference in the number of spokes, I think they will look good on my lex. They are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5.
However,
I am having second thoughts and wishing I would have bought these.
Maybe I'll buy these also and put the first set on my 88 supra and the chrome wheels on the Lex.

Now that my ls400 is running great after the ecu repair, I decided to upgrade my stereo. I wanted a stereo to play my iphone through and it HAD to be double din. I installed this Pioneer AVHP3100DVD I bought from amazon.com for $278.
Great value for the money and the illumination colors can be adjusted. Claims to have 120 colors. I was only interested in the shades of green.

Beautiful LS Yota...congrats on the find...
There's no doubt that you are gonna love the LS experience.
Regarding the wheels you chose, I actually had the same exact wheels on my 86 300ZX, I loved them. They were the same dimension as well. The only difference was mine had the black center.
Good luck...enjoy the LS.

Thanks for the comments. I hate the taillights and I will red them out soon. I already the love the lex but the ecu problem did discourage me. My 88 supra (owned since 96) and 96 camry have never given me such problems. Hell I have almost completed building my 87 turbo toyota truck and I am using the ecu from a 83-84 celica to run the motor and I haven't run into a bad early 22re ecu yet.
Now I can focus on the truck.

looks nice, good progress... you'll probaby need some small spacers on those wheels though to get them just right.
i likre your turbo truck too, always wanted one of those in 4wd to turn into a trail toy.

Quick Iphone pics.

A 1.5 inch drop inthe front and 2" drop in the rear will set the fenders right on top of the tires. So, TANABE springs are next on my list. Rear fenders have already been massaged so the natural camber from the drop will tuck the tires.

Thanks. I would love the coilovers but I had to make a decision. $800 coilovers or $750 timing belt service ( she has 82,000 on the clock). Then there's mother's day, father's day, two birthdays and a nice road trip to Florida in a couple months to spend cash on. I think my wallet can only spare $250 for the Tanabe springs. I may get the coilovers during the fall.
