Default New Shoes for the LS on the way

So...I have had my LS 460L for about a month and half now and really didnt like the 18"Stock wheels,I felt as they were just way to small for the big body car that it is ...so I picked up a slightly used set of 22"Asanti AF 120 in chrome with staggered fitment....the previous owner had bought them 3 months ago for his wifes 09 LS 460L and had them specifically made for the LS with perfect offsets for the car...supposedly they wont fit any other car....he took them off as his wife was worried about pot holes in New York...the rims were inspected from a CL member and are mint...the rubber still has the prickly things on them that new tires usually have.

I wanted a rim that had kind of a mesh design with a nice lip as well.

The rims are still on route and will be here in about 7 days or so...heres what they look like

I'm not a big fan of aftermarket rims but I like those v-much.

Please let us see them on your Lex once you have them installed.

I only see 4 wheels, what do you use for spare? What do you do with original wheels? Sell them on eBay? Store them in garage in case you want to switch back?
