dh's have bigger faces. its hard to tell because they are chrome but my guess would be ssr vienna 2s or lehrmeister vip dish.

I love the traffic stars but they expose too much of what's behind, namely the stock brakes and rotors. Traffic stars would be great if you have aftermarket slotted rotors and Brembo or Endless calipers to show off

The full face wheels looks good on the LS as its a big car and suits it nicely, well I'm bias too..

PS: Did you sell the other wheels?

skaper- these are the rays lexion 401. but i love the d3s! they are my ideal rims but money is short so these will do for now.

airtime- i agree. full face wheels looks alot better on a LS. the TRAFFICSTARS are for sale if anyone is interested. please PM me if interested!

mikemareen- my buddy had these on his car. not sure how long he had these for so im not sure if it is discontinued. i had to get spacers for the front and grind down the calipers a little to get these to fit. plus, i had to extend my studs. alot of work but well worth the results.


thanks everyone for the comments. they are 20's and the tires are 225/30/20 and its dropped by the data controller if anyone is wondering.

Default 2001 Ls ...

My (new to me) 2001 LS 430. The car is just about bone stock and bought it about 2 months ago (ebay).

I removed all the old gold badges, and reinstalled OEM chrome badges. Did a stock wheel exchange for chrome (about $700 w/ shipping). This is my first LS, and I am amazed by how well the interior held up after 76k miles and 2 owners. The exterior had is share of rock chips and scratches but looks great now after a good detail and touch-up.

Had to replace the trunk struts, and found an aftermarket set off ebay for $70 w/ free shipping. My Lexus dealer quoted me about $450 and told me they were pretty difficult to install. The install took less than 5 minutes !!!

I am looking to do some cosmetic mods (I love chrome), and will be surfing this site for some suggestions. Some real nice cars in this thread !!!
