Timmy posted the ones I was talking about... I might have just made up the "pie pan" thing, I don't know if anyone else calls them that. They actually look better on the LS than they do on the SC. There is a later version of this wheel that I think came on the pebble beach editions that looks a lot better, they ditched the pie pan in favor of a 5 star looking plastic piece that went over the spokes of the rim. I don't know if you can buy just that plastic piece or if it can be installed on the older wheels, but if so that would be a good, cheap upgrade for anyone with those wheels.

Ok it wasn't pebble beach, but here is a link to the wheels in talking about. http://m.ebay.com/itm/251808833781?nav=SEARCH
It looks like they used the same old wheel, just a different style cover. Also these are chrome.

I'm considering picking up a set of 19" Weds Maverick 508S wheels. 19 x 9 +25 f (hi disk) / 19 x 10 +30 r (super-lo disk)
The only thing holding me back is fender work. I'm planning on a set of Megan's. A roll in the front and shave in the rear?

indeed!i found mine on ebay in august 2014, set of 4 remanufactured for $1100, it was a big chunk of the money i made over the summer but i had wanted them for many many months and i knew if i didn't get them soon someone would've so i went for it... so happy i did... now i have the stock 16s which i put the blizzak ws80s on for the winter, and keep the turanzas on the 18s
seriously though i HIGHLY recommend the blizzaks for the winter, especially if it regularly snows where you live. these LS's are already pretty dismal (or fun) in the snow, and those blizzaks give you a surprising amount of traction in snow
Summer tires year round for us.

What part of AZ are you in? I wish the LS section had threads for all of the different colors the way the 2GS section does. I'll have to search but I don't think they do. We should start a jade thread. I love the color!

Hey thanks! Yeah the interior is immaculate. The body has a few dings and slight damage to the front bumper cover but other than that she's great. I was able to talk the guy down a bit so I think I paid a good price considering the mileage and condition.

I'm in northern AZ, but commute to the valley every week which is what I bought the car for. It's definitely my favorite color next to the insanely rare burgundy red, so I was happy to find one so clean and for a good price.
I loved the stock ride, as I've had 3 other LS's and have always liked the smooth ride but once I put my coil overs on the car I enjoyed driving the car soooo much more. I've always gravitated towards handling over ride comfort so I was pretty pleased with how the ride turned out after I installed my Ksports with some stiffer springs.
