WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK OF THE NEW 18" sport edition LS 430 RIMS ON MY SC?

IMO I'd rather keep the 17" GS rims... I dunno, for some reason the GS rims really suit the style of the SC

I have to give the new ones a thumbs up - I think they look better - not that the other ones don't look good though!!

Definetly the GS over the LS. If you look at the LS ones closely, it seems they were better made for a larger car, i.e. the LS. Too bulky of a 5 spoke for the sleek SC.

Just my .02

thanx for the feedback everyone!
i personally love the new ls 430 rim,but the gs rim suits the car a whole lot more... captain's right, it does look better on a broader car-the rim is sporty,but not sporty enough for the lines of the sc300/400..it is better suited on the sc430.
but the difference is -it's an 18" rim and i have a thing for stock rimz...(damn new york)!
imagine these wheels on a nice drop...nice!

here is the rim on the ls:





ps.. hey dennis, thanx! for the heads up!

I like them on the SC.....they remind me of the Autocouture Supreme wheels . When I first saw these wheels, I was thinking of getting a set. I like them also because they appear to clear large brake calipers. Too bad they aren't staggered, or else I'm pretty much sold~!

If those LS rims were dished then I'd be sold on them as well!

I like them a little bulkier... To be honest, I jus don't like the GS's, period. So I would pretty much take anything over them. Plus, they're factory 18"s
