I currently have the 18" x 8" OZ Classe Racing wheels on my LS. I had them custom chrome plated. I have a set of 18" x 8" Boze Stixx Euro's waiting to be put on. You can see both pics below. I currently sell the entire Boze Forged Wheel line on my website.

That wheel would look terrible on an LS.

Grayghost,
Thos Boze rims are nice. I probally this summer going junk my stock rims for set of after mareket 17's that keep the 5 poke and chrome appearance. May I ask how much did those set you back?

The Boze wheels are not cheap. They'll run around $2,000 for a set.Mac98SHO said:

The Boze Forge Stixx Euro Wheels Look soo hot i might get them. but sorry to change the subject but i have a question. I went to one of my rim dealers and he was tryin to talk me out of 20" rims on my 00 LS and trying to sell me 18". He really didnt clearly say the problem so i just wanted to know what u guys think. I want 20's soo badly but i dont want huge problems whatever they might be. So what do u guys think 20" or 18". Btw the LS is my evryday car and my job which i dirve to 4 days a week is about 20 miles away and my school is about 30 miles. so im driving this thing alot. Any suggestions or problems that might occur with 20's? Thanx

Ken, those Boze wheels are awesome. Great taste my friend.
I was looking at these for the LS or possibly the SHO... ADR Kasai's. They were on ebay for about $450 shipped. 17x7's

Falken Koblenz
I just bought my summer tires yesterday (Ecsta MX's), and will be getting these 18x8's with my next paycheck to mount em on. I decided not to go chrome (which were more expensive) cause I think the black accents will flow with my black LS. What you think?

Are those the Falken Koblenz? If they are it won't fit the lug pattern. Those are the rims I was set on getting but they wouldn't fit. Maybe some custom work but that would mean more money.Motodrew said:

Ya they are Falken Koblenz. 18x8 w/ 5x108 35mm Hioffset. That is a match to my 2000LS. Why wouldn't they fit? Maybe Falken didn't make this size before...

Fondmetal 9X <----I have these on my 98 SHO.
I will be replacing my stock rims on my LS this summer or maybe with taxes. Would like to stay with chrome on black car.

Thanks! I went with the Boze's for the custom offsets since I have the StopTech brakes. I have sent them back to Boze now two times to get them right. Once they come back with the right offset and milled back they'll be ready for any LS with StopTech brakes. I have been the guinea pig with Boze on these. They have been really good to work with and sell a very high quality product.mholhut said:
Those ADR's look almost like the exact same thing I was going to buy before the OZ's except in chrome. I think those would look great on the LS.
The offset's wrong. The LS has a 60mm offset; my preference is for finding something with the correct offset. ls4me (who knows whereof he speaks) has recommended not going any lower than a 45mm offset.Motodrew said:

Actually, you probably don't want to go less than 40mm. 5 mm won't make that much of a difference. I currently run 38mm offset with the OZ's due to hub centric spacers and they are just at the threshold were the inner fender will rub at times. I'm going to cure that problem by purchasing the fender roll device from tirerack.com.SoonerLS said:
