Unhappy Wheels don't look good on an LS IMO

95 LS with 20inch wheels, clear bumber lights and matching paint throughout... figured I would post a picture. I like it but I think the 20 inch wheels are a bit too BIG .... IMHO. He could have made a better selection I think.

those are dish rims which look enormous when they are in 20's.plus the LS does not have the help of a bodykit which gives it a larger look.

The first LS isn't lowered, or not very much, so it looks like a 4x4. To expand on what Eric was saying, those wheels look huge because the "spokes" or the "dish" part, as he referred, extends to the outer edge of the wheel. Wheels with any kind of lip don't look so big. Also, a body kit creates a larger wheel well so 20's do look smaller, or rather, look appropriate.

Eric, think your 20's will look appropriate???
