I think it looks ugly. Too pimpy. The whole focus of the car is on the wheels now, and one can't help to NOT sense the rest of the car. Those belong to an Escalade or some other monster SUV IMHO.

That will be one of my next cars, but not with huge rims like that. 20s w/out chrome for me

I'm going for 20" non-chromed rims myself..have yet to find a place in So. Calif to do it well and right. Since there is a warning not to install larger tires on the vehicle, I've got to be certain to use someone who is well qualified to do the job. I posted a previous posting to ask who had actually installed 20" or 22" rims on their car and had pics and did not get any responses.

A bit too much bling for my tastes and too little tire sidewall, but the fitment looks very good. Oh and a nice photograph.

Maybe 21s would be about best on this big car.

Those wheels doesn't go well with a classy looking car like the LS IMO . . .

I like the size of the wheel on the car, but the style of the wheel really cheapens the look of the car. Those wheels belong on a ghetto Chrystler 300.

Not crazy about the wheels design....or the big dubs. I saw an LS460 here in Lauderdale with 22 inch Asanti's. The car looked great but I still thought it would be better with 21's.
