Anyone have a pic of this setup? Just curious if this setup would look good. TIA

no, nobody has a pic, primarily because most, myself included, think the 962 is too sporty a wheel for the LS, and on top of that there's the fact that SportMax makes knock-off wheels that i would only run on a car where i didnt care if the wheels get banged up.

i wouldn't say that. i've seen lots of similar style wheels, including equips, wrvs, meisters, and sp1s, pulled off exceptionally.

i concur, and even if they were original designs they are not the caliber of wheel the car deserves.

Im sure they would look fine. Probably not SUPER FANTASTIC, but not bad. It will need a good drop to pull them off. If you want some reasonably priced wheels for the daily grind on a 17 year old car, then they'll do. We've all seen ALOT worse on LS's, even on CL ones.

EDIT check out post #285 on the LS wheel thread to see a set of sportmaxx 502s on a LS. The 962s should fit the same (w/ spacer/drop/whatever) just look a tad different.

reason why I asked was because I have these wheels on my z32 and there was a chance of trading it for LS400. I agree it would look too sporty and out of place but I think it would look ok if it's done right.
