agc Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I am currently in the process of buying wheels for my car, I have a 2000 LS400 (silver). I am looking at one of these wheels, can you tell me which would look better on the car. I am really torn between the two 1. OEM 18" LS430 5 - spoke wheels (silver) 2. ASA 18" ST3 5 - spoke (silver or chrome) The two wheels look similar except the ASA ST3 have narrower spoke than the OEM. Please help me decide. Also I am looking to sell my current 16" wheels with Dunlop 5000 Sport tires (about 5k miles on them), what can I expect to sell them for.

ED. Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Ddint you already post this question? Or was it someone else? Anyway, do you have any pics. I am not too familiar with Lexus wheels but I do think the OEM wheels from 2000 looked good. Just my 0.2$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agc Posted July 14, 2005 Author Share Posted July 14, 2005 Sorry guys, but I did post a similar question before, but now have really narrowed it down to these two wheels Attached are pictures I got from another forum. The OEM wheels that I am looking at are silver not chrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW03ES Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 The LS430 5 spokes are much nicer and look GREAT on that car. Plus you know they'll fit and that you have OEM Lexus quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PK_Lex Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 The OEM 5 spoke are better in terms of classy & elegant look, and since they are OEM they are high quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agc Posted July 14, 2005 Author Share Posted July 14, 2005 Thanks guys, I am still undecided but am thinking definitely silver instead of chrome (easier to maintain). As for the wheels on the black car they are ASA (licensed by BBS) and can be bought from Tirerack. I am leaning toward the OEM because of durability, also I think the chrome on the gold car is a bit much for me Thanks and keep them coming AC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agc Posted July 15, 2005 Author Share Posted July 15, 2005 I do like chrome, but will probably get silver because I want to use the wheels all year round, I live in NJ/NYC. As for what I prefer it really depends on the car and the color of the car, I guess with my car being silver either will be fine. Right now I can get either one of the following 1. Silver 18" OEM LS430 2. Silver 18" ASA ST3 3. Chrome 18" ASA ST3 Which do you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
