Two optional 20 inch wheels & one optional 19 inch wheel isn't exactly "lots of wheel options" unless you're comparing the LS 500 current wheel choices to a G90 or CT6.

There are actually 3 20" wheel options and two 19" wheel options. 5 wheel options is pretty good...

This is incorrect as the other 20 inch wheel is standard & ONLY available for the LS 500 F Sport model, so actually there are just two 20 inch wheel options available for the LS 500.

While you do have 2 choices in 19 inch wheels, my understanding is that the 19-inch split-10-spoke alloy wheels with high-gloss finish will have a slight additional cost over the standard 19-inch split-10-spoke alloy wheels with Dark Silver and machined finish so for all intents and purposes, there is only one optional 19 inch wheel offered.

3 wheel options in total isn't all that great.

They don’t count if there is an additional cost? So the S Class only has one wheel available then lol

Where in my previous post did I mention this? You obviously didn't comprehend my comment as I already stated that the extra cost 19 inch ten spoke wheel with high gloss finish is considered as the sole optional upgrade 19 inch wheel.

If there are two 19 inch wheels available, there are TWO 19 inch options.

Wrong! There may be two 19 inch wheel CHOICES for the LS 500, but ONLY one optional 19 inch wheel (split-10-spoke alloy wheels with high-gloss finish) which is available at an additional cost over the standard 19 inch wheel (10-spoke alloy wheels with Dark Silver and machined finish).

Too me its the size of the wheels, the LS is a big boy, I believe bigger then the 7 series and S class. 19 and 20 look tiny on the car imo

They’re all about he same size. LS, S and 7.

Wheel size is relative, too big and it rides like crap.
