Why she already has a set of 3 piece forged wheels? What are you saying Forgiato isn't a quality wheel choice? They are better than cast wheels any day. Sorry there not imported from Japan

Its been my experience that here in florida the popular belief is that bigger is always better.. i disagree but to each his own...its always entertaining to see the lengths people go thru to put 24's an up on vehicles that cant support them.. but if BRMCVAY was able to do so without any crazy mods making it unsafe more power to her....(forgiato's are by no means cheap and are def a quality wheel)

lets not discourage the young lady for doin it big....

leaders lead for a reason....

I've been to a lot of places outside of Florida and its a trend that catching on about huge rims on cars but I feel like that LS has a sence of class to it even with the bigger wheels. We roll on 22s and lower the car to make the wheel well fit to the size of the wheel. With 24s, it seems you dont have to lower it. The wheels fit the entire wheel well.

BTW, Georgia, Tennesee, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Louisiana and North and South Carolina are quickly taking on the huge rim look. Or as my son calls them, the monster cars.

When I originally went to buy wheels I was going the whole 22's with lowering springs.. I even ordered the lowering springs from Megan Racing which I still have in my spare room.. And the day I placed my order I went with the 24's so I would not have to do any modifications to the suspension.. In which I am happy with..

Ditch the chrome pillars, too much chrome. You have enough chrome on the car with the chrome 24s. I'd say ditch the blacked out tails too. Other than that, the LS looks good so far.

Is this in Orlando/Clermont area you saw me? Yes I was there a couple weeks ago. Haha Thats crazy! Thank you for the kind compliments. Some prefer 22" lowered which also looks incredible. My car is Certified and I just didnt want to do anything to void my 100k warranty.


i dont think the sprint booster will help the acceleration but it does get rid of the pedal delay of the start.. it may make a difference from dead stops..

i think i saw u on Old Winter Garden Rd near Mercy dr (few weeks ago) if so... ur car looks awesome in person....wheels have that real chopping effect while in motion...sexy!! cant wait to see whats next...[/QUOTE]
