Which would u choose: LD1s or Model 5s?
I am having a difficult time trying to decide on which 19X8 wheel I should get - please give your opinions.
a) Lowenhart LD1 chrome 19X8 (+50) with Nitto 555 (225/35/19)
or
b) Advan Model 5 bronze 19X8 (+45) with Toyo T1S (235/35/19)

Yes, they are B.R.O.N.Z.E. and yes it's a done deal!
The LD1s came in a +51 offset which is perfect for the TL - no rubbing. The tires in this package would have been 225/35/19 Nitto 555 which would be about the same height as the stock 17s.
The Advan's are +45 so I'll have shave the rear fender tab. Not the best off set, but it'll do! This pack. comes with Toyo T1S in 235/35/19 which is slightly taller than the stock 17s and will fill in my wheel gap nicely!

i guess you dont remember the pic of the white tls on 19'' ld1s. g/damn it was nice. i am just not feeling bronze wheels.
i'm sure you could have got the ld1s with a 235. i wouldnt want a 225 either.
good luck with your 19''s

I agree dbox, the white w/ LD1's belongs to Streeteffectz's, I think. I would have prefered the LD1's if it wasn't for the following...
The LD1's are used with 2 minor scuffs (but still in good cond.), 2nd owner, no receipt, in Virginia, 75-80% tread left, shipping cost, duties/taxes, 225 tires.
The Advan's are 2 months old, 99% tread left, receipt, and in Canada - so I don't have to pay duties/taxes.
By the time I factor in currency conversion, duties/taxes, etc., the Advans is a better deal.

I would have prefered the wheels to be in the silver finish, but the wheels came off a yellow IS300.
