Default How to measure wheels for replacement

I need to replace the original wheels on my 2003 LS 430. The finish has corroded off in several places. See photo below. Looking online for replacements, I must state what size my wheels are. Not sure how I measure the wheels. Just go from the inner edge on one side to the inner edge on the other where the edges meet the tire rubber?

I am also interested in getting a different type of replacement wheel, one that will look more upscale with my black lexus. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Just look at what size is displayed in your tires.

Those are the 17x7.5 oem wheels.
If you remove the wheel you will see the specs stamped into the back of the wheel, or the tire size on the tire if all you're looking for is the diameter.

If you're looking to 'upgrade' my suggestion would be the oem 18" wheels - you will need new tires of course since the new wheel is bigger, but they are a great looking wheel.

I'd go w the silver 18 x 7.5 5 star type factory rim off the 05-06 430....very classy and will look sweet on your 430
