kidcapp,

Why'd you go w/ a high disk in the front, are you planning on doing a 4 pist. brake upgrade? Just curious, thanks. BTW, looks great!

The STD disk for the magnifique will not clear the US brake calipers.

The 18" is a 2 piece and shows no rivets.

When you say increase the diameter, do you mean the wheel or the tire? On a LS, you can go up to 20", and using the proper tire size, you won't increase the overall rolling diameter.

18" is special order, 19" we have both silver polish and chrome in stock.

Wheel size of course! I have the air susp that's why I don't really want to go too big. Any suggestions??

My Bad, I should have read the entire post. Those Magnifiques are gorgeous. I don't think I can pull the look off w/ the older LS body. I think the LS 430 would look awesome with the chrome 3 piece Magnifiques. Those are my wheels of choice when I pony up for the LS 430.


Thx, D.K.

How did you get the rear lug nuts to sit so low with a low disk wheel? Or better yet, what brand?

Mine stick out too far in the back.
