I'm not a big fan of thin spoke wheels on the LS (as many know by now ), but I'll say that it isn't that bad of a design (because it's very similar to Lowenhart BR5), considering it's by Giovanna. If you do decide to get them, I'd suggest 19s because 18s will look smaller than they really are due to the thin spoke design.

ok this is the wheel that i want, do you guys think that it will look funny in an 18", to squished, will it fill out the wheel well more than the stock 15"... or the only real good way is to lower it to fill it out


thank for the advise



these are what looks like to be the same style wheel but in 20"





i do not want it to look like this where the design is to small.... makes the rim look small than it is




oh forgot one thing would it be better to go with a 40 or 45 tire
