Hi Has anybody got a link to a site which will show various rims on an LS430? I currently have the stock 17's on my 2002 LS430. Considering upgrading and my first thought was to go for the OEM 18's from the later 430 but I'm curious to see how some of the aftermarket offerings will look. Any suggestions as to which rims are a decent buy/good fit would also be appreciated.

Many thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll be taking these on board and will start with the sway bar bushings and struts and see how things are after that. nc211, my car is also a 95 but with more miles (156k) than yours. And yes I most definately experience a noise such as you describe when hitting a bump in the road. Seems like I could be in for an expensive time :(

Hi Everyone I'm in the UK but though I'd post this here as well as I know there are many LS owners in the US. Hope someone might be able to suggest what could be causing a creaking noise from the front passenger side of the car. It seems suspension related but what I can't work out is that the car will often drive perfectly for the first 15-20 miles of a journey. I had both front lower ball joints replaced a while back as the garage I took it to diagnosed those as the culprits. However there has been very little improvement and along with the creaking noise I sometimes get a real jolt when going over a speed hump or a pothole in the road. It's almost like I've driven up a kerb! Could something be broken, spring or shock? And if so why does it seem ok for the first part of a journey? Steve
