Default Which wheels??? (PICS inside)

Trying to decide between the 2 wheels for my '03 LS430 black on black. Finish will be the diamond cut and the sizes are f: 20x9/r:20x10. Car will be lowered and eventually be dressed up with the Wald Exec. line kit. Top pic shows AME Shallen AX and bottom is the Shallen LX. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

I think the AX gives it a more aggressive look. plus some what of a VIP thing.

The LX is more classy in my eyes.


I'd would definitley go with AX.... not that there is anything wrong with classy

AX ! Either one is hot though great choices. Just go as aggressive as possible with width and offset and stretch the tires

Just for kicks here is diamond cut LX on my old Mazda 929. 19x9 +42 Hi, 19x10 +43 SLo

That 929 looks sweet! That was the last car my dad had before he passed... he always had American cars and that was his first Japanese car... said it was the best car he ever owned. It had some quirks (no glovebox, no tilt wheel), but I though it was cool, especially since it was RWD.

Thanks for the input so far guys. Looks like majority vote is for the AX. Maybe the LX will fit a GS (2nd gen) better.
