multi piece jdm vip wheels look best for ls430, those 5 spoke casty's don't match up very well with the elegant, luxury styling of the glorious LS430.

i think the 5 spokes look great on the ls but they will show your rotors and calipers a lot, so you may want to upgrade the look of those as well. those rims look alright,,, in my opinion they look like run of the mill knock-offs and i think the 20" will ride pretty ruff so be prepared for that. they will probably save you a few dollars and give you that 20" look if thats what your going for...

The wheels don't look to bad after seeing them on a blk car, here are some pics i found of the wheel. BTW 20" is a must over 19" IMO, also i only see these on domestic cars so it would be different on the LS.

These are 22x9 w/ 255/35/22 Toyo Proxes







If you like the brand, I like the Dimes more than the ones above.
