Congrats!!! I also picked up some 19s today. Can't wait to see your pics. I will put my pics on the weekend.

BTW lots of you CL members in Oklahoma? I am driving from Los Angeles to STL, MO starting August 1st, and will be staying in OKL for a night.

i'm kind of afraid to see how it looks. at the risk of sounding like an ***, i really don't like those for an LS. of course maybe that's the look you're after too...

Melissa, how wide did you go?

Mine are 9.5 front 11 rear Stretch coming up. Though conservative offset, since I don't want to cut fenders and go long studs like Pimp RYHI guy here

Looks fine. I wouldn't say they look bad.


Lower it and it will look wayyyyyyyyyy better! ( Tanabe DF210s )
I'd say go for some clear bumper lights as well.
And a billet grill.

meh, lowered cars are fine to daily provided you know how to drive them....

my car's pretty low and i daily it most of the time..

ive mostly withheld from posting because i dont like those wheels or that style of wheel at all, least of all on the LS.

1. This is a public forum, i dislike your wheels, deal with it, im not impolite nor personal so il say what i want to say.
2. IF you feel the need to berate me for my opinions please follow your own advice

the thing is, being an enthusiast forum people are going to like different things. everyone's entitled to their opinion and if you're going to post pics, then some people are going to like what you've done and some people won't. that's just how it goes on a car forum. you cdan't expect everyone to like what you like. i don't expect everyone to like what i like, most of them do, but for those that don't, that's ok, becuase i like it.
so basically, no need to get bent over peoples opinions. most of us like a certain look on the LS but some people like different looks....

If you like them, that's all that matters. There are varying tastes and in the end, if it makes you happy.
