Default Anyone ever install TSW Londrina on an ls?

Since Discount Tire screwed up, they pretty much said I could upgrade to any other wheel I wanted within reason and theyd cover the difference. This is the closest style I could find. So Im getting these in 20s with Hankook Ventus V12s. Anyone have these on their car or any pics of them? Im getting the gunmetal with polished lip on a Millenium Silver 04 LS430.

I have something that looks very similar to that on my car. Axis Options with gunmetal faces and chrome lips. Looks really good on the car.

I had a set of TSW Vortex last winter (2009) as a beater set-up. They served their purpose well. Sold them in the spring for more then I bought them for.

These would look great on a Bimmer or a GS

Thanks man. I posted in the PS section. Tire Rack doesnt sell them and Discount Tires configurator shows a 1st gen LS400, not a 430

I ordered them yesterday and am second guessing myself already, but then I do that with every purchase I make, lol. Im worried they may look boring

I think they look good, but you are going to need a small drop so it doesn't look like 4x4 status.

Yeah Im worried about that too. If it comes to that, Ill have to do coilovers but Im really hoping to keep it stock as I can aside from the wheels.

So I just changed my order. After seeing a bunch of folks running the TSW Vortex in 20 inch, I decided to go with them instead. This picture sealed the deal for me



I should have them next week sometime
