The rim looks sweet...but not much different from stock ones.
I don't think people will diffrentiate enough from far away.

I take that back.
The rim looks nothing like the stock 5 spokes, now that I have actually seen them on the GS above.
Looks very nice.

too small for an 03 LS. The new LS are HUGE, need to go 20" to make it look good.

I thought it was a silver IS the first time I read through. That's probably why people thought they looked "too close to stock (as in the stock IS 17's)." I've seen people put 16" versions of those wheels for snow tires on IS300's, to keep the stock look.
I don't know if I'd go with a thin spoke wheel on a large car like the LS.
