I scrounged a set of 19” 74196’s and had them repaired and rechromed. Still in boxes. 18’s had new tires. Will be a while. I have a new set of gas adjust also.

changing the sway bars also when everything is mounted up.

in due time

Looks good. Those wheels look amazing in the 2013+ models (see below). I will certainly go in this direction because I’m not a fan of the ugly multi-spoke rims. I’m currently in the market for a 2013-2017 LS; I need to do my research on this forum in regards to the best year to target and what to look for. I really want the red LWB, with flaxen/saddle interior.

What are your thoughts about the impact to the ride?
No noticeable difference in ride quality.

Guy was asking $1200 for the set on CL. I got him down to $900. They came with Michelin Pilot Sports with about 75% tread life.
