For a company whose motto is the obviously difficult "passionate pursuit of perfection," Lexus' formula for success has been relatively simple: Just aim for the fences. That's exactly what Toyota's then-new, upstart luxury division had done with the original LS 400 for the introduction of its brand back in 1989. Its spiffy flagship sedan was a smash hit the moment it reached market. Of course, some of that had to do with a bargain price -- obviously subsidized by Toyota in an effort to launch the nameplate. But even a series of hefty price "readjustments" by European makes couldn't slow the runaway sales success of the first-generation LS 400. Blessed with a smooth, powerful V8 and superb build quality, the LS 400 quickly zoomed to the head of the luxury class, claiming a slew of customer satisfaction and vehicle dependability awards while building a loyal owner base. When it came time for a model revision in 1995, Lexus decided to not fix what wasn't broke. The end result was even more acclaim, and an ever-growing consensus that dollar for dollar, the Lexus LS sedan just might be the best-built mass-produced luxury car on the planet. So when a third-generation makeover was slated for 2001, exactly how did Lexus plan on improving what some consider the benchmark sedan in the premium luxury segment? Simple: By going after even more -- more design edginess, more interior room, more comfort, more features, more performance, more safety and more technology. For 2004, Lexus has given its flagship a midcycle freshening. Exterior changes are barely discernable, but a new six-speed automatic (with a sequential shift gate) drops the car's 0-to-60-mph time from 6.3 seconds to 5.9. New safety features include adaptive headlights; knee airbags for the driver and front passenger; a tire-pressure monitor; and the Pre-Collision system, which uses radar to detect an unavoidable collision, and then prepares the car and its passengers for impact. Among the other new items you'll find on the options list are 18-inch wheels; Keyless Access, which lets the driver start the LS without inserting the key; and on vehicles with the navigation system, a rear backup camera, expanded voice recognition functionality and Bluetooth hands-free phone compatibility. Most certainly, the 2004 Lexus LS 430 is one of the finest luxury sedans you can buy. Its V8 engine is powerful and its interior is supremely comfortable. Moreover, Lexus' flagship sedan proves that there is no shame in flaunting your wealth, though, of course, you need to be wealthy to own such a superb car. One of the reasons that Lexus became such a powerhouse is that it was able to offer its flagship sedan at a price much lower than its European competitors. Now, fully optioned, the Lexus pushes the lofty $70,000-plus mark, the dangerous treading waters of some of the finest automobiles in the world. But take a test-drive, and you may well find the LS worth the price of admission.
We strive to continually bring you the largest selection of custom wheels and discount tires in the
nation at the lowest prices. Not only do we offer award-winning customer service but we also have a
skilled staff of technicians waiting to serve you with your custom wheel purchase. Our warehouses sell
our rims at savings up to 70% off of list prices and 30% less than our retail outlets. You can rest
assured knowing that all wheel and tire package fitments are verified with our technicians before ever
leaving our warehouse. Unless your car has been modified, all fitments are calculated off of the stock
specifications set forth for your vehicle. We use plus-sizing techniques to match up your new wheels
to stay as close to factory stock heights. In laymen\'s terms, you wheel gets bigger and your tire gets
smaller. If you are hesitant about a wheel and tire package purchase, allow us to mount and balance
the set and deliver it to your door ready to be installed onto your vehicle. We use state-of -the-art
hunter mounting and balancing equipment. When mounting we use chrome valve-stems, stick-on weights,
and road-force balancing equipment. We shrink-wrap and package the aftermarket wheels thoroughly for
shipping. All wheels and tires are insured during transit. If you are ordering wheel spinner adaptors,
they are generally shipped separately from the wheel for safety reasons. While we rely on our repeat
business from satisfied customers, we are always looking for new customers to add to our growing wheel
clientele. Do not settle for one of these fly-by-night companies on the internet that will nott be able
to promise what they deliver or provide service to you after the sale because they are no longer around.
We have been around for years and we plan on being around for many more years to serve our customers.
Just give us a call on our toll-free number!!
