Default 17" IS rims

Does anyone have a picture of a 1st gen LS400 with 17" IS rims. I am looking at an OK pair and want to see what it looks like first, though anything beats my OEM 15"

I can give you a picture of a 91LS with 11 spoke ES wheels on it in a week or so. I'm waiting for delivery of them. I'm putting on 17" 215/50R17 Toyo Versado LX tires on them. OD is exactly the same as the OEM 205/65/15's... (25.5")

I would pick a different wheel for a 95+.
You would need huge spacers to clear the brakes. 20mm+
