Default 5 spoke vs mesh vs full face?

What do you guys think will look best on a 1995 LS400 for the VIP look? I haven't seen any meshies (know of a set of works vs-xx for sale), and for such a big car, wondering if 5 spoke is even worth it.

Full face way to go?

Appreciate some help

I've seen all of those look good on an LS, but I think full face suits a big body sedan the best.

That's what I was thinking. Too bad I can't find any 19/20 full face for sale, that actually have a deep lip.

get mine, and refinish it to whatever you like.
I wish I was in Cali, so I could find shops that do good work and charge decent.

I will only do pick up please.

Those wheels would be absolutely perfect. Price is fine too. Sigh. Was in Vegas about 3 weeks ago too.

Won't be back for a while. Just my luck

And you keep throwing me teaser pics :P

I have a cross country trip planned Aug 1st, I will see if I can swing by Vegas, if not I will look for another set.
