Part of the reason I fell in love with the LS430 was the comfort. It felt like I was riding on a cloud, best way to describe it. Especially after my Legend which felt like I was on a dirt road all the time.
However, I hate the look of the stock hubcaps on there, and would really like to upgrade the overall look of the car with some wheels. Are there any options out there that look really nice, not ghetto at all, without ruining the comfort factor?
I searched around and didn't see it in a few pages, so I figure I'd post up.
Thanks.

What year LS and size rims are you running currently. I assume stock 16's or 17's. You can always upgrade to the oem 18" 5 stars. Personally my favored, but you lose a little comfort with the low profile tires. I couldn"t tell you bout 19's or 20's. I haven't seen an aftermarket rim under 19" that i would put on the ls without it looking corny.

My dad has a 2006 with some really nice wheels, I think he might have the oem 5 star.
I just want something to upgrade a little, but if it were to sacrifice the amazing ride quality I'd probably not bother.
Other than the 5 star, are there any other nice looking OEM wheels from other Lexus' that would fit?

Agree that the GS wheel do look good on a LS. There a 2005 LS OEM 5 bar wheel for sale right now in the LS or wheel classified section if you don't want to sacrified the comfort. However, if mod bug start kicking in then you can check out the ultimate LS430 picture under sticky

Thank you all for the response.
And I love the GS look on there, but yeah the 01-03's look a little different.
I know the mod bug will kick in soon, it already has. I've been looking at tail lights and grills recently.
I just don't want to get wheels that make the ride rough.
