Default Wheel style help

well I知 in the process of buying wheels for my 04 ls but I知 trying to go with more of a exe look. The rims i wanted to get are discontinues and now im lost.
What I wanted to get were the EXE CROWN rims, I wanted a style like them so I looked into the works but there are too expensive for my budget.
So im open to wheel choices. The style I was looking at are the mesh,full face or 5 spoke.
I think the mesh look sporty and would not give the car the exe look im trying to achieve,all the full face rims I seen im not to fond about and I found some nice 5 spoke that look decent but not sure if it is EXE.
Bellow are pics are 3 amazing cars,but not sure which style to go .i have a flint mica color

keep in mine that all 3 of those cars are slammed and you will not achieve the same look unless you too have your car that low or lowered at all.

my fav is the vip modular vr01

I like the Trafficstar/Maya DTX/DX2 wheels for full face. Also my current set of wheels the AME Shallen AX are full face.



Oh and the new set I just picked up are the ones in your 3rd pic.

Interesting. My opinion:

Pic 1: Don't like twisted mags of any kind
Pic 2: Least favorite of the 3
Pic 3: Kinda like them, but smaller size

Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder when it comes to wheels. But I guess that's why they make so many different kinds of wheels. My first love in wheels was a set of chrome super sport style Cragar mags...and by set I mean 2 of them on the back wheels (all I could afford) with some fairly wide Goodyear TA tires...about 40 years ago.

I still think Cragars look great.

I agree - but probably not on a LS430.
