i always thought yours was among the nicest looking cars on here. those wheels go with the car a lot better than your previous. some shots to see the width would be nice. how did you cram all that wheel in there? what are your offsets etc? i will need wheels before long as the chrome on mine has had it (stock wheels).

is your grill factory? i like the chrome center and wouldnt mind picking up a used one like yours or just the center, also used.
my car is silver too and has chrome bumper trim so an all chrome grill may be too much. the black center bugs me a little, more so when looking at pics of it, and the different grill center would clean it up a bit.

Thanks, Rear wheels are 18x9.5 with a 60mm offset. Front are 18x8 with a 46mm offset.

My grill is a 04 LSE grill, it is stock. Most of these grills are one piece, very few and rare 2 piece grills out there, so you need to find the entire grill in chrome and have the outer part painted to match your car.
 
I think you've had enough wheels. What's that like your 18th set? Rehab for you.

LOL!! Im addicted, I was just about to pick up another set this week. I may just hold off. Wheels are like shoes to me, I need a new set for each week, hehe.
 
Thats hot hot hot.

Man but I think you are off on the offsets. Mine, the fronts are 60 the rears are 50.

What kind of tires are the new ones? Sits great.
 
I love the way the rear sits. The front not so much, as it's like my car...wheels look a little bit further in the wheel wells. Still looks awesome though!

I could be off but a 9.5" wheel with a 50 offset would not fit the LS. I think your offsets are right but you have them flipped:

Front should be 50
Rear should be 60

I am using Continental SportContact 2 tires.

Thanks, I will be spacing out the front a bit more in a few weeks.

I am working on a supercharger project for the LS now and want to get that going now that the warmer weather is coming.
 
I forsee... Supercharger gets scraped, 6 more sets of wheels will be purchased.


How come you wanna do an s/c versus a turbo kit?

LOL!!

I bought 2 professionally made turbo kits for cars in the past and they have both been nightmares. Turbos run so hot its crazy, last car I had, it melted the brake fluid resovoir and started all of my spark plug wires on fire while I was on the highway. I will never consider a turbo again as a aftermarket project. I will only buy a turbo car from the factory.
