LM > LM-R(don't like the spokes), & they need 22s for the LM, even though I'm not usually a big wheels type of person

Love the LMs as well and ive run them on several of my cars (M3, Viper GTS, etc), but due to the stepped-lip, the LM (or any stepped-lip) makes rim look smaller compared to a reverse-lip in the same size. If I wanted a 22" rim look on the LS, id need LMs in a 23" just to look like 22s LOL!

I like 22" LM's on the LS460L because I actually prefer 21's

LOL...i probably would have considered 22 LMs (if they offered them) depending on the offsets. fwiw, i think 21s would look good too. I considered some 21" Works with stepped. Tire selection with 21s is a consideration... by the time you price out 21s or 22s with tires, its ~ the same anyway

u going dubs on the exec pkg anytime soon...dig the look of the sig

21 sounds right, not too big, not to small......
but the tire cost does raise the flag.....
maybe when the size gets popular, the tire prices can go down a bit.

I am not into the wheel design at all, and the LS should only be wearing a 22" IMO
