AutoCouture's New LS Body Kits (LS430 & 400)
#61
Hey zushwa!
Doublewhoosh in the Classified forum is selling his Racing Hart M6 18x8 for $1700. Look in the IS posts. He said they are for a IS but the IS has the same bolt pattern so it will fit your car. Only question I have is the offset. Email him if he still has it and what is the offset of the wheels if you like it.

thanks for looking out loule...I just asked if he knew the offset and if he had any pic's of their condition..I cant say they are my favorite wheels but I DO like them and that sounds like a pretty good price..
once again, thanks for your effort...

Some more wheels!
You might like this one.
My boy Veilside is selling some 19x8.5 HRE 545 with tires on the classified forum/GS posts. Knowing him the others are in great condition and for $2200, it is a steal! The crack one, you can send to HRE and get it fixed for $300. WHich equals your budget of $2500 for some wheels and tire that usually will cost you $4000 at least! Just remember to ask him the offset on those. You can go with a offset of 38-45.
P.S. all Lexus cars (not trucks) have the same bolt pattern.

edogg, you're URL was kinda jacked up, which kit, the Wald UCF10/11 Version 1 kit or the Wald UCF10/11 Version 3
Either kit is nice but I think the Version 3 kit will only look good on a black car. In white, it's just too much. The Version 1 kit looks good in either light or dark colors.
Price wise, the Version 1 kit is a add-on kit. The Front Lip and rear skirt are approx. $382 EACH and the side skirts are approx. $620 (pair). Not too bad, about $1384 for the set.
The Version 3 kit is a whole front and rear bumper replacement...and they cost approx. $700 EACH. The side skirts for the Version 3 kit is approx. $620 (pair). That works out to $2020 for the set.
I don't recommend mixing and matching the Wald Version 3 kit with the Evolution kit. The Wald V3 kit uses a "rounded" sideskirt and the front and rear bumpers match. The Evolution Euro kit is of the "straight" variety. If you're going to do the V3 kit, you should do it will all the same parts. Personally, I dislike the round side skirt look...and the front bumper has way too much **** going on...
The Wald V1 lip and the Exclusive kit could work...why bother...They're similiar enough, you might as well pick one or the other and just do the whole matching kit.
Save the extra $1000, get the Exclusive Euro Kit and add the extra $1000 you save from the body kit to get better rims.
An wild body kit (especially on a ligh colored car) with mediocre rims won't look as good as a clean body kit with really phat rims. The Euro kits are the newest ones from Exclusive, notice that they're clean and elegant? Look at all the kits for the New LS430...all clean and elegant. The whole Japanese VIP scene is moving away from the wild combat look (Wombat?) and moving towards the Brabus look...
That deal on the HRE is killer! 19x8.5" with a polished center/polished lip is $1355/each (JUST the rim, no tire!)..
The tires are LITTLE small for the LS but not bad. When the tires wear out, put on some 245/40-19 or 255/40-19 (don't go any wider than 255 on a 8.5" rim...) and it'll be just a hair larger in overall diameter than the stock tires (26.63" stock vs. 26.72" for 245/40-19 and 27.03" for 255/40-19)...which is good.

Okay Manaray since avanche no longer imports kits but Do Luck.
Do you think D2autosports can import the Wald V3 kit even they mostly sell stuff for BMW and Benz?
I will by going by VIS Racing to this week to see what they can get from japan.

I don't know if D2 does direct importation...they might just source it from people like Dave @ GTA...
I know that Ari is the "official" importer for Wald (www.waldusa.com) but his prices are high...maybe if you call him and talk real nice to him (or real dirty?!) you might get better prices...
Edogg, why not try Ari and see what you can get....post your prices (or at least PM me) before you buy though, I'll tell you if the price is good...
