Looking for new rims. Any suggestions?

[Alax7]

I wanted to get that sportier look on my ls. Its got the 8 spoke stock chrome rims. Not a big fan of them. The second I saw the rims on HyeLifeLS I loved them. They gave it that clean sprty look. They are jaguar rims. I really want some of those but I didnt know if they would look good on my ls since its that pearl white. What do you guys think. They are photoshoped. Any other rims you guys suggest? I've looked around but its hard to picture them how it would look on your own car without them actually on it.

You know. I really don't like black wheels. It's just me I know, however, with a polished lip, black centered wheels could look really good on a white car. I think chrome on white is cheezy so you need either silver painted centers with a polished lip, or black centers with a polished lip. I'm tellin ya I've seen white cars with tint, and the black center wheel set up looks real good.

I think the jag wheels would look good, but then again I used to own a 1970 XJ12, and helped my dad rebuild a 1967 XJ E-type V12 from the ground up. So you could say that I am impartial. Plus I am also looking at the new 2010 XFR as a possible new ride.

Not sure if it will make the point, but I'll post some pics of what I got:

Not a white car but I think you can tell what I mean:

SIlver painted centers still look ok on white.

Not the best example but I couldn't resist:

OP I say color matched wheels would suit you!!! imagine them pearly whites rollin!!! it will bring out any color of your calipers too. I still question color matching mine since I'm silver but your emo-white really should stand out with black tires. Will be a b*tch on cleaning but every wheel gets dirty sooner or later..just put on some good wax to avoid too much dirt/dust and wipe daily :-D

Chrome would look nice on your white LS

Those Jaguar rims you like are called "Vulcan" they are 18X8 front and 18X9.5 rears, plus the Lincoln center cap fits perfectly in there so they look like OEM Lincoln rims...
I say go with those.

yeah I'm really leaning towards those. Just wanted to see qhat else were put there. The reds caps are also photoshoped. I bought caliper paint to do them myself. Should I do it myself or go tgo a shop. Maybe they use better stuff that wont fade after weeks. Maybe its the same thing thought. I dont want to just give them my money when I can just do it.Should I just do it myself?

those last two are nice.I haven't seen either of them. I needed new tires. Brought me down 600. I think I'll be able to get the rims before christmas

Yeah I'm not leaning towards chrome either Rodewayer. I'm not into that whole bling thing. Thats why I liked the jag rims, cause it made the ls look sporty, it is a luxury SPORT.I like the sport part.
