are you selling the mclaren grille? and what tires did you put on ? your ls looks great, big fan of the all black, just my opinion but you should paint the rear license plate surround black too, get rid of the chrome

Looks great. The tires are Pilots?

Posted by: CobraLS

Yes, the tires are Pilots. They seem pretty nice so far. I had the factory 17" satin wheels before which I mounted Blizzaks on for winter.

A guy on ebay named OEM Wheels. But I would suggest you stay away from his wheels. Two arrived all corroded. He was supposed to issue a refund, but I have yet to see it. Letting Paypal deal with him now.

Yes, they are painted black inside the spokes. The guy who sold me the wheels said they were mint. They were corroded between the spokes. Mostly just little spots so I sanded them down and primed / painted them to stop the corrosion.

I'll keep that in mind, your's look great though, can't even tell.

I would stay away from his wheels. I think he is selling wheels that have been returned to a dealership to be replaced under warranty instead of being sent back to Ford. Add to that he has yet to issue the refund he agreed to. He has a few more days before I file a dispute with Paypal.....again!
