I'm sort of torn. Silver is GREAT. I think it looks fabulous on your LS. Silver makes a car look sort of like a racecar. And it does sort of look like that for the LS, it looks more "racy" with silver. I've had many a silver car. I still have a silver FD3S.
However, ultimately I think a deep red with a tanish color interior is the ultimate color combo on cars like our LS's. It looks very elegant. Like Tee's. Not to take away from the OP's car. I like that silver mighty fine. Better than my gray. The black tires do look GREAT against the silver body.
With my gray, I have the 19" 5 spoke chrome wheels. And those wheels bling-bling big time in contrast to the gray color. I get a combination of compliments and chrome haters. Either way, that bling gets attention.

Oh and I forgot to mention ... those tinted windows are the bomb! They finish out the car by matching the tires perfect. Personally I think the 5 spoke wheels look the best ... at least as far as oem offerings. My car looks much the same as the OP's cept mine is whatever SGM (smoky granite mica) I think its called. The translation for that name is - Fancy Gray. OP, don't change a thing!

It looks like they first became available for the 2008 MY:

Scroll down to the bottom of the last page, and you'll see that new wheel option in boldface, meaning it was new for 2008.
