Alright here are my options, going back to OEM types.

Option 1:
2006 Lincoln LS 5 spoke 17x7.5's

Option 2:
2003 Jaguar S-Type "Zeus" wheels 18x8 fronts 18x9.5 rears

Option 3:
2006 Jaguar S-Type "Valencia" wheels 18x8's

They will all cost the same amount, no shipping, wheels only, no center caps.

Im leaning towards the Zeus wheels, as long as I can stuff the 18x9.5's in the rear without an issue. Any info on that?
 
Fng

Here, theyre even in the same order as the poll options.

That last one looks pretty sweet. I would hump all those lug nut holes... kiddin.. but I say option 3.
 
If only the 06 wheels would have the spokes a little smaller they would appeal more to me. They look nice but the extra egdes around each spoke kills it for me.

This is exactly why I have never liked the 06 style... They are goofy with that background around the spoke... It looks, bad.
 
#1 or #3 IMO. #2 looks like a gen I wheel. Although I'm not sure if a BBS style rim will fit the LS.
 
The way the spoke goes to the edge of the rim makes them look bigger than they are. They definitely are wider than the 16" seven spokes they replaced. They stick out from the rear quarter, if mud flaps didn't look like crap, I'd put some on.
 
Well i like looks of the third one a lot. Wish they were staggered. I would go with nunber 2 for that perfect fitment. The third one would need some spacers to look good. I dont really like the 06 wheels, looks too much like the wheels from a Fusion.
 
My thought's ,option 2 without a doubt my friend. Been wanting to join here for a while but seeing this thread made me have to join. If price is all the same, then go with option 2 just base on the fact that they're staggered. in my opinion option one is too small and bland, just a stock ls rim and option 3 looks like it belongs on a rice rocket. But hey, regardless of what people like look wise just get option two on the fact that they are staggered. you can even paint them if you wish
 
Where are you getting these wheels? You mentioned they are all the same price. BTW I have always loved the Zues rims so they got my vote. IMHO if they were a 19" staggered set they would be the perfect rim.
 
Zeus wheels are pretty hard to find. You might also add staggered 19" Barcelonas to your list but those are even more rare and more expensive.
 
Maybe a modified 06 wheel. Paint those "fins" on the sides of the spokes black:

Here's another one. This one has part of the barrel/face painted as well. Almost as if you were to connect where the fin from one spoke to the next. Like this:
