Got an LS with these wheels and want to upgrade?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: CobraLS

I am looking for a set of the 17" Lincoln LS wheels pictured below. If you have a set and are upgrading your wheels, please let me know. I am interested in your factory wheels.

Aren't those T-Bird wheels?

Posted by: d.e.beatup

Have you considered the factory chrome 17's that came with the 1st gen. Sport package?

In person, they look very nice for a factory set, IMO.

Posted by: DarkMansLSEV8

I myself like the five spoke design better.

Anyone have thoughts on whether or not these would look good on a silver LS? (chrome grille, 6 piece chrome pillar set)
YOu can find them relatively cheap online sometimes but I'm afraid they wouldn't look good.

Yep, those are the wheels I am looking for. I don't really like the 2000-2002 wheels. I am not a big fan of any of the aftermarket wheels I have seen, so I just want a nice set of factory chromes to replace my machine finish wheels.

I have those exact rims with 245/50/17, im guesing 35's would be no problem

I have set of these wheels brand new in the box in my garage. They have the center caps and lug nuts. I'd sell them for $700 shipped if someone wanted them. I got them to put on my LS once I decided to sell it.

I love my wheels. By far the best looking stock wheels for the LS. Five stars are soooo played out.

I really don't know. Do you know what the factory offset is on your car? If it is 60mm or less then they should work.

I really have no idea can't find anything online that'll tell me

i like those too. what size are your tires toddg?

Posted by: HyeLifeLS

Yea, I agree with you on that one.

The five spoke first gen LS wheels are really nice, but there are way too many of them, almost every 00-02 LS has em, where the 8 spoke chromes from second gen are rare and very clean looking.

Personally I don't like the 06 wheels at all, chrome or machined.

235/50/17 is the stock tire size for all LSs with 17" wheels. I have 255/45/17s on my, but if I was buying again I would get 245/45/17s. The 255s are too wide for 7.5" wide wheel and therefore they don't fit perfect.

They should work then.

Posted by: napoleon1072

could someone photoshop

onto my car so I have an idea of what they would look like?? Ken you said your selling them for 700? are they mint or are their any blemishes??

Posted by: GrayGhost1

The wheels are brand new in the OEM box. Never been on a car.
