Hey Pushkar,
Aren't you the same one, who when posting about doing brakes wrote:
.
"the service adviser also recommended that I get new brakes for the front and back for $299.00 each. Approx $600.00 in total. Any recommendations, comments, concerns?
***please note: Money is a major issue, but so is the longevity of my 2007 LS ***"
Did you hit the lotto last week?
How do these bling wheels add to the longevity of your LS? What am I missing?

I like these as well but it still all comes down to fitment trust me you dont want headaches because you will have to get new lips if they dont fit, there is not that mch space up front with the upper control arms in the wya so you have to be spot on with offsets if you do not want to run spacers or be too wide. test fit em but thee looks good as well.

Those look damn good. Both are neck and neck. I hope they work for you. Are you willing to change the barrels if need be? They may be a little too aggressive but they would be sick if they work with no mods.

Thanks for all the input. the only way to truly know is to test fit them. and see what/if their is rub. Id rather NOT get into any issues w/ upper control arms, brake clearance, etc.
Aggressive fit though .... i always wanted that look once in my life lol ...
But for now the search continues.
Lots of rims come up down here in South Florida. It's all about right place right time!

My daughter and son-in-law put wheels with very low profile tires on their previously nice riding Escalade. I HATED THE RIDE AFTER THAT.
I just traded in an Avalon Limited that came with 19" BBS wheels that were installed at the port. Similar Avalons with stock 17" wheels handled road abnormalities better. The BBS wheels looked good.

Unfortunately, these are 5 x 114. So i am sure they wont fit, and / or will be a mission. I just love them so much! The seller is asking 3500. Please let me know your thoughts.
I will prob be doing some research on what i can do to make these fit!!!

Look on the back spokes or have the seller tell you the offsets..it should say something "et ##" or "+##". We can really help you with that info. Also they make bolt pattern adapters to convert those to 5x120, but that may not be a good solution. Nice wheel tho
