Wald wheels will cost you around 8k+ vs 6k for the VIP Modular. The VIP looks better and easier on the wallet man.

depends on a lot of factors -- what you want to do as far as fitment and diameter is a big one. vip mod can make any size you want, but the mahoras only come in certain sizes. there's a set of multi-piece 22" portofinos on upgarage that i'd run over either choice...

I found someone who selling a set, 21" with brand new tires for a little over $3K. VIP Modulars, the lowest I found was a little over $5K without tires.

So considering that, what would you do?

Actually there this other black LS460 SWB here in Vegas that has the full kit and wheels, and on aftermarket bags. His car is sick!

Here is another pic of the rims and here are the specs:
- 21×9-inch, ET33, front
- 21×10-inch, ET40, rear

What do you guys think of the specs?

I have always thought that the Wald wheels look amazing on the LS. I say you cant go wrong with either. I do like the fact that the VIP wheels have a lip
