I don't like the spokes. I've seen 6-spokes that look much better than these.

my thoughts exactly. Maybe an inch or two smaller and polished instead of chrome.

I like the overall look. The wheels are a little big for me too.

They look quite nicer than the stock though

I liked the overall look when I first saw it. Very clean, nice sized lip, but looking at it from certain angles, it does look cheap (plus the fact that its missing a center cap on one of the wheels isnt helping either).

I'm thinking maybe one of the HRE 900-series wheels might look real nice. These wheels kinda reminded me of them.

I think they look sick - but what do I know...

Not sure if I'd want to drive around on them, but it's a sweet look and the stance is just right.

The chrome ties in great with all the other chrome trim on the car.

It's clean, but I don't think it suits the LS very well.

The LS has fine detailed curvature. Those wheels are too linear. The stock 9-spoke wheels have a subtle curvature that complements the car. Perhaps if the wheels above have a bit more visual interest, it will be more harmonious to the design of the car...

Not really a fan of the HRE 940R series, the only wheel in that series that I think might look good on the car is the 5-spoke 945R, & I will not be fully convinced of that until I see a good photoshop of those wheels on the LS460.
