Ok, here's what I wanted...I wanted a little larger than stock rims...a little more sporty look...and as little ride sacrifice as possible
I liked the wald version so I went with similar rims just without going 20+
Tires are 245/45ZR18 Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport
Rims are Sport Edition ST3 seen here
nothing flashy just a nice upgrade from boring stock...ride is unchanged...smooth and quiet

thanks for the kind words...
I got them right off tirerack.com $129 each for the 18" ($164 for 19" and $189 for 20")
I got the tires from tirerack.com as well, so they came already mounted and balanced...I just bolted them on![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Offset: 42mm Bolt Pattern: 5-114

thats what I was hopping for
its a 2001 with 62k miles...but in perfect condition inside and out...dealer maintained since new...but the rims (and tail lights) were making it look dated...soooooo nice LED tails and newer timeless rims and it looks much newer

I did see those, but they didnt show up on the list when choosing "01 ls430" as my vehicle...since those front brakes are HUGE, i didnt want to risk them not clearing...the Sport Edition ST3's were guaranteed to fit, looked almost the same, so I went with them

i would consider dropping it slightly...its just that I usually dont drive it around town (I drive my 4Runner), I use the lexus for longer drives and interstate trips and I dont want to hurt the smooth ride...is there a way to lower it slightly with minimal affect on ride?

From afar it sorta looks like the Mercedes AMG wheels. Definately refreshesh the look of an 01 and cheap too from what you have listed. You should see if you can find a standard Lexus center cap will fit to give it a more OEM look.

I have gotten tons of compliments on my ls430 with these new wheels and tail lights
people cant believe it is a 2001 with only 60k miles...looks brand new inside and out
