I like them! I have some 19's for mine as well waiting for tires to arrive.

What wheels and sizes are they? Remind me of WEDS.

Thinking of lowering?

How's the ride quality compared to OEMs (did you have 17s or 18s before)?

Thanks!

These are Work VS-TX 19x8 and 19x9, I don't plan to lower the car just keeping it stock I'm running 35 now so ride quality is not as good as stock and it is a little noisy at higher speed. I plan to replace the tires to 40 or 45 and that will fill the gap and ride a little better.

My S550 sport stock has 19" 245/45 front and 275/45 rear and with the thincker side wall the car looks good even without lowering it and it is quiet at any speed. I'm going to try to swap the tires from the S to the LS and see what the result is

yeah 40 series will make a huge difference, go with 245 40 19 and 275 35 19 (or 255 40 19).

That car would look better even with a moderate drop, nothing too aggressive. You won't lose ride quality at all.
