i have never been a great lover of black alloys,but i got them at the right price.so i might be tempted to spray the centre white and put them on the ls as the other wheels i thought looked better on the mk2.

Im digging the silver ones. black rims looks too sport for a ls400.

Definitely go with the silver wheels Silver/white is a good combo. Do you think it would be possible for you to acquire another one of those front lips? A lot of U.S LS400 drivers would really be into purchasing those euro front lips.

i dont see no probs with that,its just down to the cost of post,never noticed that your cars did not have that front lip ?
