I personally think 20 or maybe 21 with some more tire sidewall will look more in keeping with the car's style - not a big fan of the 'no tire' look like in the pic above.
I third that...I'm not a fan of 22's. The no tire/rubber band look doesn't seem best for a classy car. This car would look even better with 20 or 21's.

Still very nice and gives us an idea of what this beautiful car looks like with wheels. I love this car.

I'm sorry, but 22's look honestly too big for this car. I agree with others who say 20's or 21's would be the best.

I think the car looks nice, I just think the guys are used to custom crafted multipiece so the non staggered 1pc with a curved face is something different (especially to see 22's for the first time on a LS).

I'm sure if they were staggered with a straight face and a lowering it would look even better!

Enjoy the car and the new wheels!

i disagree, but that's why it's what we like on our car. to each their own, right? as far as i'm concerned, when it comes to rims, the bigger the better!
we actually checked out the d2 website when we were looking for wheels, and we honestly couldn't find anything we liked. the one wheel we would have rather put on the car is the Dub Essinem, but unfortunately they only come 22x9.5 and 22x9 is the max.

With all due respect, I don't like those wheels. It takes the finesse out and replaces it with pimpness.

Just in case you guys missed it, these pics are of the LS on 22's.The reason I say this, my buddy has the same wheels on his 07' ls460, lowered of course.I would have liked a bigger lip on them and more aggressive fitment.He is still waiting on the full A/C kit from Japan.

^^ Looks nice and all, but how will the ride be? Harsh? With less suspension travel comfort is compromised. Not to mention going over bumps and speed humps. I had lowered cars in the past and although they looked hot and handled better the trade off in comfort and rattles was not worth it.
