They are nice wheels but there is something just not right about them? It might be the offsets or the curve to the spokes that don't really work with the wheel design. Not bad though.

front disk type isnt right for a 1LS. (needs low disk)

id have them repainted or refinished but otherwise look alright.

thanks ! I want an LS400 but have decided to hold off on getting one now, even though I already have a set of IS300 wheels on my Acura Legend.

I now plan to keep the IS300 wheels for the LS400.
Thanks

Personally, I like the before wheels. They just seem to look better on the car.

looks good but the tires look really puffy. What size and offset are those wheels?

NOOO WAYY!! the 1st gen IS wheels will never fit the 95+ LS's, you would have to run major spacers (25mm+) to get those wheels to fit..

the stock IS wheels are regularly run over massive BBKs and the LS brakes WILL fit.

I'm pretty certain the 1st gen IS wheels will not fit over Supra TT brakes without spacers. The LS brakes are not that much smaller than the Supra 4pots... Got any examples of them fitting over 4pot 95+ LS brakes without spacers? Or Supra TT brakes? Both of these have taller footprints than some aftermarket big brakes.
