Hmm...Looks like a certain Carlsson model doesn't it?
16 x 7 LS430 Coach Edition wheel. I'm going to throw these on my 1993 LS.

Feedback?

look nice, let's see them on your car. Where did you get them and how much did you pay?

Looks great almost like the ones I bought in december. Posted pics long time ago. Mine are 8*17". I will put them on this weekend. I would love to chrome them but over here it is not so practical because of the brake dust from autobahn driving!

Nice...if you decide to polish them (much better then chroming) tell me about some places and prices on that. You know my wheels need that polish look

just my opinions...

personally... i like 20'...but not everyone can pay 20'.
also, i rather get wide-deep like 9 in the front and 10 in the back 18' rims.......

the fact is..... THE REAL 18' is hella more expensive than knock off 20' or 22'

the real 16' rims are better than knock off 18'.....

well...i would..

I like 19s much better then 20's...20s always seem too big for sedans to me.

bump. I put them on the car today. Picture is in my signature. I kind of have mixed feelings about them. Thinking about going back to my stock chromes. What do you think?
Here's my car before.

For some reason they look so good in the box, but the chromes look better in the pics, maybe its just the angle.
