I dont think they look bad. Personally, they probably would not have been the wheel I choose, but they certainly are not the worst wheel. I have seen a lot of wheels on LS's that dont look all that nice.
If you like them, that is what is most important. Rims are a touchy subject, most people have different tastes.

Yeah like i said im going for a meaner look i mean im only 21 so im trying to make it look a little more flashy while keeping it classy. To be honest the outside is just too damn plain for me.....

Here's my $0.02. The wheels looks like it belongs on a SUV, something like an Tahoe or Denali as I've seen many around here with that look. But looks are of personal taste and us having LS430 are limited in the kind of wheels that will fit it perfectly. In another thread, a member sold his brand new wheels right away as it just didn't "feel" right as it threw the ride dynamics of the LS off. Just because the right bolt pattern and offset are within range, the calipers also has to clear mind you. I would suggest talking with D2 Motosport a sponsor on this site to discuss wheel choices. He has a group buy that is ending May 31st.

I already talked to D-2 motor sports and they don't have any wheels that i feel look good on the car I am getting custom 4mm hub centric spacers to make the wheels fit on the car the tech that does all the work to my car said that they will definetly fit no questions asked around the calipers the ony thing im concerned with is that they will sit too far in the wheel well itself i have another thread open discussing this same issue and my tech is out of town for the next week and im calling to confirm my order on tuesday afternoon therefore i need anwsers on this question imedietly

Back out of the deal! The quality of you wheels must be at least on par with stocks to even be considered. Given the price, these wheels are most likely cast which means they are highly susceptible to bending. The finish will also be inferior and will probably last 6 months. On top of that, they look like something you would find at discount tire.

Alright well where the hell can i go to get 18 by 7.5 inch wheels with 245-45-18 Tires for a decent price i called a bunch of places but they all wanted like 4-5,000 and to be honest theres no way in hell im paying that for wheels even the lexus dealership wanted to charge me 400 a rim and 270 a tire to put the stock 18's back on

And i talked to my guy baccarat makes a quality wheel. He has had the Mchrome and gold on his mirrages for about a year now and no complaints about the finish or the construction of the wheel i mean if i hit a curb going 30 the wheels gonna bend but i don't drive like that.

Whats most important is that YOU like them, not what other people think. Ofcourse you did ask for an opinion, but in the end you are the one that will drive this car and look at it while you own it so thats all it matters.
What looks good and what isnt is highly individual depending on who you ask.
Personally, I think they look "ok". Its always hard to imagine how it will look when they are on the car. Maybe you could ask someone who is good with photoshop to make an image with them on your car.
Good luck
