Ok...well I finally got my lazy *** to scan in some interesting tidbits from my latest sources...here we go...

Some new wheels from Intensive (the guys that brough us the HUNK...or DazzMatiz as most of use may know 'em as)...called the trance...sorta like the Wald Duch. II's but different...

Check out the "teardrop" bolt holes...hmmm, maybe Intensive is making the rims for Dazz (since I know they have close ties)...

Then again, AutoCouture just came out with a new 18" rim that looks like these Intensives but the only difference being that the AC rim has "lines" on the spokes (like Veilside/Andrew Racing does) and it has FAKE bolts (ah, they kill me sometimes)...these new AutoCouture were designed for the "entry VIP" market (ES300, I30, etc..) and due the fake bolts, I refuse to even post the picture...

Anyways, here's the new Intensive Trance wheels...

K,

HIRO at

store.yahoo.com/lexusparts

carries A/X wheels. the S model retails for ~$625, depends on width for 18s. they are made by RAYS, so quality is good.

tell him william says hello

will

K,

on the site, Hiro show the AX/revolver wheel whcih i saw at the may meet-excellent quality. since he brings in the AX line, you can just check w/him and see if he can import the model you like for you at a discount. he always give discounts off listed retail prices. but, expect a wait of 2 months for delievry due to ocean freight.

Sorry for the delayed reply but looks likes gs4will already took care of the question. Thanks Will!

Presario: Thanks for the compliment! I like being able to share new stuff when I can...hopefully, people will something they like and buy these instead of some crap knock-offs!

Just wanted to give you all an update, i just got word from the peeps at lexusparts site and they said the A/X style s salamander rims in 18x8 chrome will be about 550 a piece. sounds like a great deal. and they aren't even that much more then the knock offs. this has been what i was looking for.

K,

great to hear that. $550 for chrome 18s are very reasonable. plus, you get wheels made by RAYS-one of the biggest wheel co in japan/the world, cannot go wrong. main thing is that they looked good, top quality, and fair price. like you said, not some cheesy flakes

manaray,

you are a busy man, so i appointed myself as the DH.

will
