Default Pics of my LS at Import Alliance this weekend








Car is on Megan coilovers far from all the way down. Wheels are Petrol Rodeo 19x8 +20 and 19x9.5 +20. Wheels will be changed in the next year or so, and I'm very happy with the coils. More EXE styled than anything.

Gorgeous stance. I am running the same coilover setup as you. How are you driving like that, wheels going over bump not hitting the inside of the fender? What adjustment are you running the megans on?

Very nice stance - like the Megans. Don't see how you can clear speed bumps, etc. I have only 2" drop and it hits too many things. Nice ride

It wasn't too pretty driving to Nashville from here this last weekend at that height, but I made it and I actually raised it a little since then for dd'ing.
Petrol wheels are actually very nice wheels. High quality, I'm just not real crazy about the design. Got them for a steal though and it's all I could get. Will get a shoot done soon by some buddies and post up.

Very nice. I was planning on making this, and I woulda been bringing my LS, but it didn't work out. Woulda been nice being side by side.

Very nice, the wheels might grow on me in person , they look solid and well made though. I would try and get them custom machine finished and it might flow much better. I had my O.Z. operas machined and color matched in the spokes to be the only one ever not painted silver.

Very very nice. Wheels are not my personal favorite, but definitely more unique than the typical Work Euroline/SSR Vienna-look that everyone would likely expect to see. Stance is a WIN!
