2002 LSE Restoration

[marcredd]

I am a huge fan of wheels with a deeper lip. Something about how they look when turning, or a down the side pic with the front wheels turned outward, that always brings a smile to my face. Nice choice!!!!

Nice install! I have been afraid to install angel eyes because I have painted bezels and I thought you had to glue the ring to the bezel (didn't want to ruin paint), but yours seems to be on the reflector part.

Which rings did you go with?

You can mount them however you want honestly.. the first set I ever did I mounted them in the reflector bowl, looked the same as when I mounted my next set against the back of the originally black bezel. So I guess its just however you want to do it. And they look like lightwurkz eyes... 90% sure

Nice wheels, I have the same ones in 19's.. Love the "deep dish"

They said they don't carry for LS

Just get the size of the bushings for the ls and buy that size, it could be for a smart car but if it fits, there you go!

Great thanks for all the links but I'm lost I have no idea what an LSE with a V6 has for size. From what I understand not many LSE models were made with V6 so I dont know if I have the sport or the non sport size

Ive got the Antera's but I'm looking for another set brand new something with the same look and the recessed lip.

 

[Renzo]

Ok so this was the first real day out with the LSE since I got it. It has spent so much time in the restoration that I never really got the opportunity to take it out for a long stretch. Ran through a tank of gas up and down the river road putting it though the motions enjoying the new stereo and had a ton of looks. I think I'm going to enjoy this ride!

 

[msgtusmc]

Real nice rims!

 

[thisisjimhello]

[Renzo]
