Don't like them, and they don't go well with the LS.
Don't like similar looking design on the Z either ...

I liked the stock 18s; very easy to wash. Having washed my own car exclusively for years, the 18s were a breeze; the 19s are even better. I compare washing complex pattern wheels to sitting in rush hour traffic, watching paint dry, or driving bamboo splinters under my nails...

I will be ordering those ugly 18s for my winter tires soon.

I like the stock 18's as well. It's just different strokes, for different folks.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the stock 18's in my opinion.

A fellow came down from Vancouver, B.C. and picked up my 9 spoke 18s a couple of days ago to put on his Smoky Granite 460 next winter. He said it was somewhat of an odd winter last year so I guess being prepared is the name of the game.

I was initially unimpressed with my stock 18's but have grown to like them (especially when my girl is all shined up and tires dressed).

I actually like these a lot. I'd like to see it in person.

I'm open to suggestions... They are selling take-offs on Ebay for a reasonable price, but there's always the shipping cost, although that wouldn't be too bad via UPS ground to Washington state where I will mount the winters...
