WTB : OEM 18" 5-spoke from the '04-'05 LS430
#16
Thanks for your input and vendor leads. However, I'm still holding out for OEMs. I would have been all over those 18" Auto Couture Supreme that are for sale in the other thread, IF the finish was silver.

Thanks for everyone's input. I finally came up on a set (including the spare) for $850 shipped from a Lexus dealership. Silver finish, only used for 3,7xx miles. No tires, BUT not bad of a price considering what one of these wheels go for at the dealership or online. Plus no one wanted to give up their stocks. I don't blame them. Mods, please close this thread, thanks.

GREAT deal! How did you wind up finding them? Do have any pics of them on your car?
EDIT: Being a good samaritan for future forum searchers: I photoshopped the Lexus 18" rims onto my 98 LS400. Also, the ASA ST3 (sold at TireRack and elsewhere for just $200 a pop) is a worthy alternative to the Lexus rim. I think it might look better on the 98-00 LSes and and it's made by what seems to be a reputable company. See: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...29#post1296129
Thanks,
