Well I sold my Foose Speedsters to Mikedeezy123 so I could start saving for college last summer. BTW your car looks AMAZING! So I'v been riding on the stockers and now that I'm moving out to college and my dad is getting the car back:( he decided to put new wheels on it. So we just took delivery of some 18" Gunmetal Falken Koblenz. They're 38mm offset. I know there's a black Ls on the forum with these so I hope they will fit without spacers. The tires are Goodyear GSD3's in 245/45/18. Here are some pics. I will update tomorrow evening after they are installed.

The stockers will be up for sale. Wheels only.
 
You might want to keep the stockers for if/when you trade the LS in cause the stealerships don't give you crap for aftermarket stuff.
 
Good choice!!!! And yes they fit with no spacer

Good to hear. I was about to jack to car up and do a test fit. I'm anxious to see how they look tomorrow.
 
The wheels are on!:D Here are some quick pics. I think they look great and i'm happy with the fitment. So anyone looking at 18's with a 38mm offset. Go ahead they'll work. BTW we're keeping the stock wheels, they had more tread on there then we thought. Let me know what ya think.

nice look man, their nice and subtle a good nice look, so 38mm offset does work without spacers good info ......
 
that looks perfect, i think 5 spokes set the ls of perfectly, get the eibach kit and it will look even better :)
 
Looks great! Now you need to lower it a bit and it will be perfect!
 
Wow someone with good tatse!

Looks alot better than some gaudy chrome wheels!

Looks GREAT!
 
Thanks and yea it does need to be lowered. If i was keeping the car thats one of the things i would do.
 
Looks good!

My personal tastes would prefer rims without the studs unless it was really a multi-piece rim, but I like the machined look and deep lip your's has. I'm still deciding between polished like your's or black rims for my car.
 
Looks good man. I must say that those wheels look better on your color of car than on black. No offense zexls. In my personal opinion I think they could be a little bigger though, but they still look good.

My dad is a big fan of rivets. He likes the look. And Vaughn84 I agree, I wish they were 19's but I will gladly drives with these on until August when I gotta hand over the keys.

The tires are Goodyear GSD3's 245/45/18.
