show me your rims

Aaaaaahhhhh!!

Well I was told the 2000LS has 35-45 offset. Hmm.. What offset should i get then!?? I need these wheels like my right ventricle. The only 5x108 18" Falken Koblenz has 38mm offset. Will it work? Thanks for all your help.
 
Here is my rims!!

What you think??

01lssport, what kind of rims are those in the picture you posted? Not bad. Thanks to everyone who has posted their pics also. You've all given me a realistic picture of what these wheels look like on our cars. I almost wish my car wasnt white sometimes so I could get a set of black rims with a polished lip. I love that look!! But since I live in Vegas, black was out of the question and I have the metallic white. So unfortunately black rims would look a bit strange. I've got my heart set on chrome right now. A classy car like the LS just seems to need it. I'm going for something sporty yet classy at the same time. I've seen some rims with good designs, just dont like the 2 piece bolted look on this car. It looks great on pure sports cars, but lacks the elegance I'm looking for.
I orginally had my heart set on the Weld Evo Axis SL http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/DisplayWheel.jsp?wheelMake=EVO&wheelModel=Axis+SL&wheelFinish=Chrome+Plated but they discontinued that model as of last week or something.
Ronal http://www.ronalusa.com/ has a few set of rims that will work, but their pictures arent really all that great and they have almost no shots of their chrome wheels actually on a car. They also do not have a local dealer so there is no way I can see the wheels without actually buying them first.
One rim that I've taken a liking to is the Baccart Mirage. Make sure you look at the wheel with the chrome inlays and not gold. I would never put gold on my car. http://www.baccaratwheels.com/mirage.htm My local Discount Tire location says they make a wheel that fits in 18X7.5 Now I just have to wait till they can get a set on hand before I can see it in person.
 
heylifeLS, what size are your rims and tires? I think you have the perfect width. A bit tall for me though, I'm not interested in going over 18"
 
20"x8.5" and the tires are 245/35/20s

i'm likin' those rims, they're clean and simple. are they 20s"???? if they are, does your steering wheel vibrate a little bit when you go above 50 to 60 mph???? reason why i'm asking is because i'm not too sure if that's supposed to be a little bit normal for havin rims with low profile tires (Falken Azenis ST-115 245/35R20). If it's not normal then what do y'all think would fix it??? alignment???

Do you have use a hub centric ring on your rims? My rims were shaking a bid but I had some copper rings made and they don't shake at all.

PLASTIC OR ALUMINUM??????
 
Go to your local rim shop and they will probably have em in plastic, but there is some company that made mine using copper. I don't know what company is it, the guy who brings me tires, he had em made for me. They were $30.

Saw these on http://www.justforwheels.com

They're aluminum, just wanna know the difference between the rubber ones and the aluminum ones. On the website the aluminum ones are more expensive, about $10 more. I would think they are better but just want somebody else's opinion.

I think it is better to get the aluminium ones as the plastic ones will soon get messed up after you remove your rims and put em back on many times...

Make sure you get the exact right sizes.

Len, definitely lots of chrome....lol Not exactly the looking I'm going for though. Those are very bling and I'm hoping to get something that looks a bit sporty as well.
