Not liking the tips. I would like to see how those wheels look on the car though. Usually I'm more of a 5 spoke kind of guy.
 
Diggin the rims, what sizes do they come in?
The tips...Only if you have an LSE and they fit the factory cutouts.
 
i was checking out those wheels for my self i really wanna see how they look on a ls
 
I really like the wheels. Great choice.:cool:

The exhaust tips.:yuck: To over the top for a LS. I know a lot of members go with the round angle cut chrome. Or the dual angle cut tips like the LSE. I went with a set of Mercedes Benz E430 AMG tips. Cost me $117 off Ebay. I had them installed on my Magnaflow cat back. They look and sound great.

The extra stuff in the tip looks cheap to me, dont like it. The wheels look good, atleast in 18, better with 19's.

Tips are not cheap, they are the borla tips usually found on ls1 camaro/ws6. They do offer the wheels in 18/19 but not sure if 19's would be too much.
 
Those exhaust tips look nice, I just dont like that one is not set back further than the other so you can follow the curve of the bumper and have the same amount on both showing past the bumper. If they can be found that way and you cut out your bumper correctly (if Gen 1 I assume) they may look good. I used to have square double tips, my round offsets look much better.

BTW, those grids inside the borla tips are actually suppose to be functional, supposedly cool the exhaust and extract the exhaust I believe on Borla tips.
 
After the holidays I think I'm going to start getting the wheels, only going 18" though.
