RandyChicago Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Anyone else put the 2004 18"s on their 2001-2003 LS430? What about the "new" 5-spoke (non-pie-pan) 18" wheels from the SC430? I'm looking at buying a used 2002 LS430 with 16,000 miles on it from a dealer. It currently has those terrible (my opinion) 16" wheels that look like plastic hubcaps. I don't like many of the Lexus wheel designs, but I LOVE the 18" "Euro-suspension" rims on the 2004 LS430. I'd even buy them if they were 17", I just like the clean design. I don't want aftermarket wheels, I think cars look best with the OEM wheels, if they're well designed. Anyone? I can't find the stock #, who makes them, anything. If anyone is selling theirs, I'd be interested... Randy Also, what all would I have to add to make the suspension more like the stock sports setup? Shocks? Roll bars? Suspension bushings? I sure with I could afford a 2004 with sport... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 The best thing to do with the suspension is find a 2002 with the Euro suspension and then just put the rims on it. Check out ebay for the wheels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W6RU Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Call Charlie at 310-505-4114 he deals in Lexus wheels. I bought a set of 2004 Ultra Lux 17 inch take offs from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vevro Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 You should be able to find the below style on Ebay for $1,000 (4 wheels). I've been thinking of buying the same but i don't think they will look as good on my 99 LS as they do on the 01-04 models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W6RU Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 That is the wheel that Charlie imports and sells on Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
