no, why would you put such low-mediocre quality wheels on your car?

Well for the OP it sounds like he is just wants to step up to a nicer looking wheel than stock. Correct me if I'm wrong puredrifter, but I believe you were trying to suggest that a wheel choice like the XXR 962 would not be a good match for such a quality car like the LS, I think he is suggesting that you save up and spend your money on a higher quality wheel (Rays, Enkei, AME, Work, SSR, Wald, BBS etc.) Basically something non replica and something that isn't prone to breakage.

I personally think that you would be happier in the long run if you saved up for a higher quality wheel with better sizing etc.

Not only that but 962s are ridiculously heavy.

If your going to buy budget wheels get something like Varrstoens which are much better quality then xxr/sportmaxx. Plus they come in decent sizing and offsets as-well.

Or just buy some name brand wheels second hand. Zilvia has a awesome wheel classified section or you can check out websites like rbwheels.com, memoryfab.com,etc.

This works for me too.
But the OP just wants to see what they would look like on an LS, he didn't ask for a debate on what, or what not, to buy. I'll ask his question again. Does anyone have any pics of them on an LS?? Or maybe someone can photoshop him a pic. Keep it friendly here.

Glad to see someone finally post an answer instead of just badgering, way to go Yotarip. I personally can see why someone wouldn't want to spend $3000+ on a set of "nice" wheels on a car that isn't worth half that.

Wow alot of negative stuff on these rims, but I bought them anyways, because I hated the ones that came with my car and I needed new tires, so I pick up the sportmaxxs for 200 bucks with tires.stretched and staggered I will post pics, I understand they are heavy but im not trying to track my ls or any thing ridiculous like that. I understand that the rims are ” fake” or whatever but I really don't feel like spending 3k on rims and tires when I can get the same look for cheaper..I got bigger things that I need to spend my money on....im starting to think all lexus guys are like honda douche bags, like today I pulled up to this gs and ask him where he bought his jp curtains for and how much?, his answer was dont worry about it u can't afford them, amd drove off, I thought modifying your car was about making it the way u want and not following the hype... All I asked for was pics thanks to those that werent hating on the rims, but for the ones thanks were Thanks! Because u convinced me to buy them to be different....thats just my opinion...maybe im just having a bad day lol
