Do they come up when you list wheels via selecting Lexus and then LS430? If they do, they should work fine.

You can call our Club Lexus Tire Rack contact Brandon and ask him if you want to make sure. Here's his contact info

Yes, if those rims fit then they will look pretty good.

Thanks guys what do you think about making it a show car lie i said i just got a 300 C from my company for an evreyday driver So i was thinking of investing some money in the lexus and making it a show car my friend has a lot of contacts in this area as he owned a show car that was in the fast and the furious

You will never come close to recouping your investment and without some serious coin (I'd estimate 30 - 50K) you will not be competitive in larger car shows. Do it only if its something you think you want to do as a hobby.

Dave is your car a show care cause it sure looks like it?

My GS is, but my LS430 is not (its my daily driver). I probably won't build another show car with future vehicles and will just modify them for my own enjoyment (more practical and economical).

Understandable but i recently got money from a huge settlement from my college so i invested half the money in realestate with my father. And have enough for the rest of my tuition and sustain myself for a couple of years and i have some left over. I'm working on a list of parts as we speak i have 2 hobbies cars and working out. Ive always wanted to build a show car that i can still drive the only problems im having is finding people to sponsor me.

IronCobra

Save your money...this is something I wish I did more of right out of College. Build you car to look good but don't throw so much money into it that you will regret it later.

Just as Dave stated, do it as a hobbies ONLY if you can afford to do it as a hobbies.

Don't be the guy that works at McDonalds and collets Rolex's. Make sure your hobbies are within your means.

Do you have any pictures of your car with the old rims on it? You said you would post them. I'm interested in seeing them.

KINGLS430

Are those "black chrome" colored?

KINGLS430

Black Rims with Chrome Teeth at the end of evrey spoke. What do you guys think about these rims thought and be honest i think they make the Car look mean

IronCobra

I don't think they look as bad as I thought they would. I think the 20" Chrome rims you are looking at will be great though.
