JayBeeBee 1 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 As many people probably now know, I am im process of modding my LS, having hydraulics and mild body kit fitted. What wheels would look best? Who should I pay a visit to? any help GREATLY appreciated coz the original Celsior wheels are gonna look sooooooooo outta place otherwise!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve 3,830 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 I suggest something with alot of spokes.... (about 10) The 4 spoke wheels would look out of place in my opinion Basically a set of Prestige Sport wheels instead of boy racers. O.Z do a nice set or Alissio Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maneesh 0 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Jay, Hey, congrats on representing the LS400 crowd amongst the IS200 modders! Who is planning to clean your wheels, yourself or a valet company? Multi-spoke designs (like Beemers have etc.) may look very flattering, but are a :tsktsk: to clean every week. Much easier to clean are 5 spoke designs. You will also have a chance to see more of the calipers (if they are painted). Check out my bling bling posting in the general lexus discussion area to see some examples of big wheels on modded LS400s... Good Luck! Maneesh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
faisalsazhar 0 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 I am putting these on my GS300, they will also fit yours too: 19"x8.5" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maneesh 0 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Jay, One more point. Some alloys are better designed than other alloys with respect to protection against kerbing. On some alloys the actual rim is set back a bit, so you are less likely to kerb it ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve 3,830 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 dont think the LS has the brake discs or pads that look any good to show off I dont find any problems cleaning my 10 spoke rims... I dont even have to wipe.. a good jet wash will soon get rid of any dust Like the GS sport.. I still dont think 5 spoke wheels will suit that car.. the sport came with 10 spoke rims which suit the car very well. 5 spokes look good on a hot hatch.. but prestige motor like the LS would suit mores spokes. Also squareish type spoke too.. anything rounded will not suit the square shape of the car.. again a hot hatch would suit roundish type spoke like the pic posted above.

flotsam 1 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Great! Loads of space to put your arm through to clean the inside too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actually depends on which LS400. The UCF20 ('96 - '00) actually has very big 4-pot monoblock calipers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Skelton 253 Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 The Soarer had multi-spoke wheels I seem to recall. There were a set on e-bay 2 days ago for £25 (!!??) Good luck I think I prefer more solid look for the wheels myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
