Muddywaters Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 The chrome rims on my 2004 LS 430 are badly scared and corroded. This has destroyed the seal necessary to maintain stable air pressure - air leakage is a problem. Since the problem cannot be resolved, I have decided to purchase new chrome rims. However, that is easier said than done. It is next to impossible to find chrome rims that will fit P 225 / 55 R 17 tires and over the large brake rotors on the LS 430. Have looked at wheels by Velocity, Verde, Devino, etc., etc., etc. The few chrome wheels that I have found are either gawdy, uglier than sin or totally unsuitable for a fine luxury automobile. Any suggestions of where I might find suitable rims. Please give brand names and identification numbers. Thank you, Muddywaters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cduluk Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Are the ones you have now OEM? If so, why not look for another OEM set? Ebay usually has some OEM's that have been tripple chromed. Key is to remove them before winter. No chrome wheel can survive the sand and the salt without peeling. I personally have 2 sets of wheels, one chrome set for the summer and a regular silver set for winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
