Okay so I cancelled the TSW Wheels and ordered the CV1 Wheels. Dealer says 3 weeks 
. Truth be told I feel less apprehensive about the purchase because I know buyers remorse wont seep in. (Vossens are just too damned pretty 
)........lowered the LS today on Tanabe springs. FWIW I can definitely tell the difference in the ride. I admit I am hyper sensitive to road feel because of my eh.......driving habits. The springs haven't settled in yet though. One thing I hadn't thought of is the added rattling of components being shaken on the chassis. It's what I would consider minor but def perceptible. All this on the stock wheels with the decent rubber cushion. 25 and 30 series tires will most likely exaggerate this to some extent. It's def a trade off albeit I have nothing to compare it to except stock springs as I have never lowered any of my cars. The floaty feel is gone.
Body roll is significantly less apparent. I have experienced some slight "tuner" spring bouncing in swift road dips.
This however is not approaching excessive and I suspect it's par for the course. Oh and IMO the LS does not look sexxy dropped on the stock 18's. hahaha......... all things considered: 
Thanks to the guys who showed the way whom I am admittedly copying. You know who you are.
Most importantly:
Mike where's my swag pack ????!!!!??? (in my Samuel Jackson voice)

Mike thanks for slapping me in the head. Lol. Wheels came in today and are installed and lookin puuuuritty. I received them fantastically sooner than I or anyone predicted. (I wonder if this happened by chance or if you made this happen.) I had a guy who has been washing my car every week for about two months (who usually just hands me the keys and says thanks FWIW) say to me "Dude this is a SWEEEET car!!!!!".....As if he'd never seen it. Several other double takes at the wheels as well. Not needed but confirmation is welcome. Very happy customer here. So to answer my question and close out this thread. Yes TSW wheels are good enough. But these Vossen wheels are better than good. (Can I say that?) Thanks again to Mike and the guys who showed what the 460 would be dropped on 22 inch CV1's.
