Nick haven't you been trying to sell your LS?

And for the wheels I say the right, in a 19. But I am biased to a machined 5 spoke! :D

Car never sold, so it stayed and I sold the back up car 95 LSC.

Yours are what made me look in that style, I cant find The AH9's, so this is what I have found.

I am not sure what they would actually look like in the specific one for our vehicles, that is a generic picture. I am not even sure they are available, you know how crap stays on the internet forever.

I have seen those and are nice, the round 5 spokes are not really gettin me though. Although with the limited choices I have seen so far, that would be a choice too.

Two things wrong with that to start with, my car is lowered and I live in NY. I am scared to even do 19's because of losing some sidewall. My winter and summer wheels I have now both have bends in them from this damn pothole city. And my winter wheels are only 17's and they got damage. NY sucks!!!!
 
The one on the right looks like Andrizzle's wheels. One of the sweetest rides on LVC.
 
I hear ya on the round 5 spokes, Nick. I love the Coventry Hornets, but am just not sure they will look as good with the straight lines/edges of the LS.

I agree that Drizz's wheels are probably one of the best for the LS. and definitely THE best for his color. I've nicknamed his car Darth Vader - it is a beast.

I really would be torn on using the Vairano's - they probably would work ok, but I wanted a higher offset to ensure no rubbing issues. 42mm ended up being my limit, which ended up eliminating a lot of wheels that would have looked good on my ride. However, I think the Vairano is one of the best 5-spoke wheels that are still available for the LS. If you're ok with a 40mm offset, I'd say rock 'em and be the next ride that people will be envious of!

Good luck!

The 22s comment was'nt serious. get what goes good for you.I'm riding stock 16s alluminum.the roads in hawaii suck, and shipping is too expensive to get the rims I want out here.I know a a friend with 22s and he had to pay out the ass to get his cracks on them welded because his tires are too skinny and the roads suck..two things that don't go well are skinny tires and skinny jeans
 
skinny jeans are the worst fashion trend ive ever seen.

I dont know the offset of my wheels I have now, but I am guessing they are on the lower end. I would have to measure them as I dont see any markings on the wheel stating offset, but again I am pretty sure they are probably 40 or so. When I had the sprint springs the rears would rub on larger bumps especially when there was weight in the car. I now have Eibach springs which gave me about 1/2 to 3/4" more clearance.
 
ones on the right all the way!!! and 18"s are a great size for the ls.....22"s just look stupid.....on everything!!!
