very nice

I just wish you worked on getting more LIP-DISH, or at least your dealer who sold u the wheels. I've seen the same shallen AX wheel with a more massive lip that is similar in size to yours.

the front can take in your rear dish and the rear should have a FAT lip.

it's a matter of wheel design, the ls430 inherently can't take too low of an offset

these are AC mag wheels. honestly? i would rather spot this any day over AX

just me

Actually, these are AME AXs. As for the amount of lip, I do agree and I wish it had even more lip. The rear has about a 3" lip while the front maybe 1". I didn't want to go too agressive and encounter and fender rubbing issues. I didn't want to have the fenders rolled or modified in anyway.

Thanks all for the positive comments.

Not a fan of aftermarket body kits, but an excellent choise of rims!! The lip on them is just right. Remember people, we are talking about a classy car!!!!

nah, can't be. the sensors are all on the upper part of the bumper, you can see them on the bumper (those little circles). putting the lip kit won't affect them

If I was on the fence about getting a LS, u have pushed me over it in regards to getting one. Now to convince the wife on color, u will getting some emails and pm on modding. I am looking at the same set up. Want a Black Cherry with Black Leather UL. Hard to find but I have time. Car is Sweet.

Thank you all again for the compliments. I love my car and I'm sure you will once you get one. Even though the car is reaching 4 years in age and 50k in mileage, it still drives as solid and smooth as ever.
