Which OEM wheel do you like best?
#16
The stock rim (#4) is the one which has originality whereas all the other ones convey a bit of tuners vibe that just isn't befitting of its class. That's just my opinion but why not offer all of them so ppl can choose whichever they like but for some reason they want to look for troubles and have ppl ranting on them.

I think the 20 spoke (gray car) has a higher quality expensive look than the original wheel. The original does have a unique look and it is so easy to wipe the dust off. My 20 spoke Vossen wheels are driving me nuts with the dust. I do have ceramic coating on them.

All wheels posted initially are 21s. The only 20' wheel is the 'base' one, which I posted on #4. And I actually like it better than the wheels most LCs have. I also like the idea of having slightly taller 20' tires too.

I absolutely loathe chrome wheels, but it's just enough on this car and the width of the gaps and the 21" size really accentuate the bold lines on this car. They're definitely the best by far. I wish they made these but wider as I don't want to do spacers, but I haven't found an aftermarket wider wheel that wouldn't be a disappointment (i.e. don't want all black or some other odd gray color).

I vote for the original, #4. It was designed for the car and looks beautiful. That or the OE forged wheel. All others, IMO, look "forced" and remind me of cars in the "hood." The car is not meant to look like a hood rat, but a sophisticated cruiser.

Does not appear to be a lot of love for the 21" forged all black wheel. The LC in the link is here in HI and I've been looking for a while now for one in Mica. However, the black wheels just don't work for me even though I know they are a "stronger" wheel than the aluminum wheel, I agree with most that the original on the yellow LC goes best with the car. The price though has been steadily coming down on this car, is in my back yard, but the dealership will not swap out the wheels (I've asked). The car is getting into a price range where dealing with swapping out the wheels (selling the black ones and buying option #4 wheels) might be worth the headache of doing so.

What is surprising to me is how much my opinions changed after seeing each wheel in person. The reverse polished version 'in motion' is impressive. The flat black Inspiration 5 spoke wheel, in its simplicity, impressed with all the detail in each spoke and very clean lines. I think the 20 spoke is the most photogenic, thus the favorite. But again, seeing the other wheels in person made a huge difference for me.
