Does anyone know the difference between the alstadt I and altstadt II wheels? They look essentially the same to me. In addition, how are the quality of these wheels?

I only can find Altstadt 1,3,4, and 5. Did they make a 2?
BTW, I heard the quality was pretty good. But you should get a couple of more opinions.

Manaray....how do you know SO MUCH about wheels? No one could find those #2 wheels, but you found them, not only that, but displayed a pic of them....and that too on a Lexus!

Bravo!

Nanotech - hehehe...ancient Japanese secret...hehehe...well actually. I've just been into the whole JDM-VIP-fixin'-up-luxury-cars-thing for quite some time now so I have a lot of bookmarks... (how far back? Back when the UCF10/11 LS400's were still in dealer showrooms...)

I got that from Altstadt's website...

http://www.river-side.co.jp/

And here's something you'll possibly NEVER see...the front cover of the 1997 RiverSide Catalog (the company that makes Altstadts)...part of my "collection"...
