Can't say I particularly like any of them, but, of the three, the third is the least bad...

I second that opinion.

Probably the second one, but I think you could find better rims. I think these would look really nice on the LS, especially the last one.

3rd one from the 2nd set, there is a brand new 7series bmw in my neighborhood on those, 22's, 8.5 front 10 back, that deep dish looks perfect on those 10" rears...i turn my head everytime i see it

Please, anything except for the first one. IMHO they all suck.

I dont know if I really care for the second ones, my girl really likes em..Ive been debating between 1 and 3 pretty hard I think 1 would look really good spinning down the street but then I found these too;

I do not think any of those wheels are going to look nice on a LS, especially the first picture. I think you need to expand your options more.

IMO every one of the wheels on this page look miserable (especially on an LS). look like something you'd see on spacers on some huge 60's cadillac wish a brand new primer job on it.

You should see how hard it is to find a set of 20s for an ls...Barely anyone makes our bolt pattern/offset...that is why the options I have seen are what I posted...

i've seen a couple sets around here that don't look TOO bad. But really the car wasn't made for 20's, most look riduculous and the best set I've seen accomplishes nothing more than not make the car look not TOO much worse than it did with the factory wheels. I know I know to each his own...but for those $$$ you could have a lot of fun w/other items for the LS

None of these will do a good job on the LS.

If your going for that disenfranchised, out of work, PIMP, 50 cent, bling, democrat, huggy bear, gangsta, crip, Newports, malt liquor thug look then they will send that image!

An LS is a lexury sedan, its not meant to ever be metal flake lime green like a 1964 Impala!

These cars need a set of forged wheels. Or nice luxo type wheels.

First off I didnt purchase my car on the intent to autocross it or try to make it some fast race car. I have had many cars other than the LS (Wrx,SRT-4,GTP)that Ive upgraded for nothing but speed but I do not care much about trying to make this car fast because there ijust isnt any large aftermarket support to get this car much faster than it is stock. I just want to make it a little more fun and to look nice sittin on a set of 20s which dont even look big on the LS, they look just right to me. And you say the LS wasnt made for 20s??Well I totally agree it wasnt or else theyd be on there factory, does that mean EVERYONE with an ls should go no bigger than 17s? The ls wasnt made for alot of things but people modify/change them to make them different and custom to their own liking...What one person likes another may hate, I dont go telling people when they want a big brake upgrade or a race suspension that they are stupid. Or that they spend too much time on custom intake tubes and things to pull the extra .5HP out of the car your not going to yield any kind of big results so your wasting your time,give up go buy a porsche...If you dont like 20s no one said you had to put them on your car, Dont give any choice on rims that Ive asked about or post something BETTER that YOU think will work the best on an LS and maybe it would give people more ideas, Thanks for the posts and the input but I will still go with 20s I just want to find what styles would be a good look on the Lincoln..

hey do u already have 20s, ur name in lsondubz, post a pic of your ls now. why are you getting new ones, what wrong with your old ones, and i agree to your post, as said on this forum ALOT, to each his own.

I didn't say you were stupid for wanting to do this. besides, you started a thread asking for opinions.

I personally like Iforged and HRE wheels. (they are a little pricey though)

I think the second pic in the first set looks the best.

December 4th, 2005, 04:45 PM
I dont have 20s yet...I just made the user name because I knew for sure id be switchin to bigger wheels. I really like iforged and maya wheels but I dont want to spend more than 2500 on a package...Im still searching..thanks for all the input..

Yea those are tight, the ones on the Magnum.. I hadn't seen those before.

December 5th, 2005, 02:02 PM
I'd have to agree with this Forum. All three of those wheels represent the classic "pimp in the hood" look. They wouldn't looks to bad.......... on a 1974 pink caddy!

Maybe you might want to just concider these!!!

There is an LS out here is San Diego with those wheels on the magnum, looks tight, Gives it a very classy look. Hey lsondubz, I just went through a long drawn out post about wheels and how big they should be and what looks good and what ppl say look stupid...(note my signature).....I think the LS is a great car for ppl to bring out here own personality, some ppl like the classy chrome look some like the sporty look and some have a mixture. it just depends on what you like because you are the guy putting up the $$$ Sorry for the pep talk but I understand what your talking about.

24's?????????? Here you go, get 4 of these. Then you'll have the biggest wheels ever on an LS. Then you can get a blue ribbon or whatever you get for having the biggest most ridiculous wheels.

Yeah I talked to brad he had a few wheels that I liked and the ones I posted originally no.2 and no.3 are the ones he wanted to sell me, I am still undecided...
