I know everyone likes 18's but with an open mind what do u guys think of this, They are nice wheels, ideally I'd like a set of 19s but these are like new at a good price and not flashy for a 20

Here is the ad-

I think they're pretty nice. I was looking at the Boss 327s I believe for my LS at one time, but the offset was too low with the car being lowered. I say go for it. They'd be a big improvement over the ones you have now. :)
 
Ok, you're asking for opinions, so here goes.

Too big, for my tastes. The wheels look fine, but they seem somewhat cartoonish in that size on the car.

I personally haven't see any of these cars with wheels larger then 18's that I liked a lot, with the exception of the guy who fabbed the Grand Am lower front fascia onto the Black Gen II. He ran 20's in the back and 19's up front, but the new fascia changed the entire look of the car which made the bigger wheels look more appropriate. In my opinion. :)
 
Added a different pic now that im home so you can get a better idea...i say for 20's i dont think they'd look that bad on my black lsc

Its funny you say that, im doing something similar (body mods) to mine, i already have a 6 piece sleepy hollow kit for my 97 that im going to graft onto the car (notice i said graft and not attach) I will not use the front skirt since its fiberglass and ugly, i like the grand am bumper but not feeling the round fogs, so we'll see. I also want to remove the lines in the front and rear bumper (little channel) the rain channels on the roof, the door handles, the door trim, and some other things..but thats a long way away.

I usually dont like how body kits on these cars look, but the sleepy hollow is almost similiar to a Mark VII GTC kit, as its not a BIG kit, im not reusing the front, im grafting it not attaching it, and my car is black so unless your into mark viii's the average person wont even notice...alot of work for something so subtle but thats ok, i think it'll come out looking great. :)
 
If you want 20's go for them, they look 1000x better than the hideous stuff lincolnboy posted a link to, it's a matter of personal taste ;)

Save your cash & hold off for the right wheels to come your way. There's nothing sporty or clean about them. They look good on a 4 door if you ask me. They would look nice on an LS.

those steelies are cool!

As said earlier, ive always planned on 19's...never really "wanted" 20's since they are all just so gawdy and ugly for my taste, i like a clean, easy to clean, nice 5 or so spoked chrome wheel. Something simple, beautiful, and easy to maintain. Those rims made me LOL from the NY post.

Oh yeah..

The guy isnt asking 2000, he paid that, he's asking less then half that...
 
Please wait and get those AFTER you've come over here to get the work done. I don't want the neighbors to think we've started a ho house here. :eek:

They're the same ones that were on my LS :p
 
And still sitting in my basement with new tires on them because I'm too lazy to clean them to post pics and sell them :D

All's I'm going to say is. I was sitting on stock 20 spoke Lincoln wheels & after 3 weeks of looking on TCCoA.com & here on LVC I ran across a guy that had a set of chrome Cobra R's with KUHMO tires. After a couple days of negotiating I took the set for $150 + $100 shipping & I couldn't be happier. It's the set you see on my car.
