Arrow 93 LS w/ is300 or mazda wheels?

Hi everyone. I just got my 93 ls w/ 180k. I was thinking of getting some 17" is300 wheels for it or some 17" mazda 5 rims, but I decided to go with the 18" sc430 wheels. Picking them up saturday. Here's a sketch of them I did on photoshop. What do you guys think?

i havent seen a 1LS with the 1IS wheels yet. but they may look too sporty and wierd with our ugly brakes.

Nice, I've been actually trying to find a set of those ls430 wheels, but no luck.
I found a set of these 18" lexus wheels 5x114.3, but I don't know what model they came off of?

Does anyone know where these wheels are from? & would the centerbore fit my 93 ls?

Those came off of a 2006+ SC430. They should fit your LS.
Actually I always wondered how they would look like on a LS. Looks good!

I think trying to put Mazda wheels on an LS would be a very shameful thing to do. haha.

LS430 18's are the best Check Craigslist. I would love some for my 97.

Looks good! The SC rims looks similar to the LS430 rims but more sportier.
Stock SC wheels come with runflats, which rides like crap. Does it have regular tires?
