Default '94 LS on '02 LS430 rims, what do you think...

It's a nice factory look, I think and sure is a big improvement over the oe 16". Tires are Yok YK420 size 225-55/17.

Ever thought of lowering it? As far as Lexus wheels go, I like the look of the '02 GS 16's, but would rather have a set of 17's over 16's. How about GS 17's?

Yes lowered looks great, and with my Air Sus I might do that, it'll look good! THanks for the pic!

My friend has the GS400 17x8 on his '92 LS400, and yup it looks sweet. I came across a good deal on these '02 LS430's and wanted to keep the LS look on a budget. Also I like the smooth flush no rim lip look on these LS430's!

Hey, what's scary is the unmodified pics of my car - that's on "std" air sus height setting : wait till you see it on Air Sus "HI" setting! It picks up 3/4-1" all around!!

Oh ya that chrome looks great! I like it! It's amazing that the LS430 rims just make the 1st Gen look like SO much newer of a car!

The 02' LS430 rims give the car a freshened look.

Anyone have a picture of the 17" GS430 wheels?

Ok D.K., I had to do it! Your car looked too good on chrome so ... I went and bought a set!!

I am pleased with the look.

BTW, I have a very nice set of next to new silver LS430's for sale...

I didn't want to say anything before, because I figured you had just went out and bought yours. Also, I thought you perhaps were a person who just does not like chrome wheels(and their are some on this board).

But now your LS 400 looks sooooo nice. That particular wheel looks exceptionally good on an LS 400. In fact, to continue this thought further, I think this wheel, in chrome, looks better on the 1st generation LS 400's than it does on the LS430's.

How much do you want for the old ones?
Do they include tires, and if so, what kind.
I am assuming they are like new. I have
a '92 LS in the blue saphire metalic (light
blue.) Should look good on it right? I am
one of those guys who does not like all
that chrome.

Rajah:
Thanks for posting, yes I have a set, you could call them new, purchased here in Dallas at a Lexus dealer. See the wheels classified section forum here on ClubLexus, under Marketplace, search for posts by my user and you will see more pictures, or:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...threadid=65114

They do not have tires, I remounted them to my new wheels. I used Yok YK420 225/55 17 from Discount Tire at about $142/ea.

The pics above give you an idea, and yes they would look great. I need to sell them, so let me know if you need some more detailed pictures. $500 for the set obo plus shipping would could be about $15/20 ea.

Thks!
Andrew
