Default Pics of my 2000 LS400 with recently installed 20" Lowenhart LD1's

Hey guys, I recently installed a set of 20" Lowenhart LD1's on my car in chrome finish. The large sedan really needed a more aggressive footprint to help fill out the wheelwell. I have always liked the dish face, center cap, and details of the LD1's so I went with an old favorite. I know there are a million knockoffs of this wheel, but the authentic product speaks volumes in person.

Availibility issues prevented me from getting a 8.5/10" setup, so I have"

20x8.5" hi-disk front (large caliper clearance)
20x9.0" lo-disk rear (larger lip)

245/255-35-20 Pirelli P-Zerro Rosso

I am really pleased with the overall appearance of my car, the rear lip is definitely more pronounced, especially when approaching from the rear. I have more mods on the way, but here are a few pics

Wow Stefan, you weren't kidding when you mentioned in the last meet that you're gonna get new shoes for the LS. As a matter of fact, your bro told me the good news a while ago today Amazing difference compared to the LS stockies, eh? Hope to see you and the LS at the BBQ meet in Aug. 1st!

thanks every one for the nice comments
SexySc- the ride didn't really change too much except over major bumps, but it sure is ten times better in the turns.
Lexusk8- I don't know if I'll be in NY Aug 1st but if I am I'll be there
The-Hitman- yeah I do need a drop asap.
