Nice, Thats the same size tire I'm going with in the rear, i'm going to try 265 in the front. I love wheels that are color matched, They look great on your ride!

Looks good, but you ned to live in the sunbelt to have a shot at keeping those new looking, even then, rocks and pebbles are the enemy of wheels like that...

Just make sure the tire shops are clear about NEVER attaching balancing weights to the outside of those mirror-chrome wheels ! I just had a Tires P--- resurface one of my alloy wheels because of the weight scar left from removing a weight from the outside after I had told them NO WEIGHTS on the outside of ANY wheel. That mistake cost them $2xx. Just make sure you don't go through this aggravation.

good advice....not enough meat on those wheels for me though (thus my dilemma on 20" vs 22")....are u gonna get new suspension to lower the profile? (IMO, gotta do it for 22" so it doesn't look too anemic(?sp))....if so, please let us see and know what your using......thanks....

I have to say, those are the classiest custom wheels I have seen on a LS. Personally I'm for stock and do not like the current custom wheel trend (I respect it, but just not for me). Well you chrome and white wheel are just great looking and I would be proud to have them.

Good job
Jerry

for some reason, those dont look like 22s at all. They look really small on your car.
