Default Supra wheels on 90' Ls400?

Hey everyone, I did some searching but could not find any pictures at all.
I have some 97 polished Twin Turbo supra wheels that I had on my previous sc400.

I was wondering if anyone had a picture of how they looked on a Ls400. They looked great on the sc400 but don't think they'll suit the LS. either way I wouldn't mind seeing some pictures if anyone has some.

Thanks.

If you can post a pic of the rims from any car here I'll photoshop them on an LS400 for you real quick.

I would like to except there's snow on the ground up here in Canada, and the summer tires wouldn't hold up so well. I'll probably try it out when spring hits just to see.

Side note, how do you guys think, 245/45/17 front and 275/40/17 tires will look?

Where in Canada are you? I am in Sudbury Ontario. I may be interested in the rims if you decide not to use them. Could you post a pic of them??

Would these rims clear the 2nd Gen brake calipers? I want to do the conversion this summer.

I'm sure they could clear the 2nd Gen brakes, don't take my word, but the factory supra brakes are pretty big. They look like this.

Update: Put these on the LS today not sure if I like the look but it needs a drop that's for sure. They fit good (only because the car is so damn high).
Pictures soon!

Pics as promised....I dunno I was curious about it and didn't find any other threads on it so hopefully this helps someone else out.

I think they looked better on the SC.

Although the TT wheels are very nice, the LS is a BIG car and therefore, 18" or 19"s looks much better.

They don't look THAT bad. Actually, I would say they look pretty nice, though I personally am in love with RX330 18" 5-spokes.
