fever---everyone is entitled to their won opinions, you are right about that. This is a Lexus forum---no matter if you are white, black, yellow or green---we are here to get the most beneficial information and try to get some hook-ups so maybe we can save a little money. And maybe along the way, some people may establish a friendship. Let's keep it at that, and for everyone--let's drop all the racist bull******---we see enough of that on TV!!!!

in regards to those Niche's, those rims do look nice---I always liked the Ghini's, but I saw a couple MR2's riding around with them, and scratched that idea.

There is a guy rolling on 20" Niche Britains in my area (Huntington Beach, OC) and they look SICK!!

I don't think these would look good any smaller than 19" or 20" but as 20s I must say they look good!! I think it's a good compromise between nice flashy chrome and some sport appeal... They have a killer lip!!

If I see him around and have my digicam on me, I will take some pics for ya... ;-)

What do you guys think ofthe quality of Niche and Neeper Rims??? From my experience, the chrome finish is not all tht great. My friend had a pair of Niche Prima's on his MR2, and within 4 months, the chrome started chipping. Also, I noticed that it is a different shine of chrome than Lowenhart or HRE wheels. I guess it's because the Lowenhart's and HRE's are triple dipped----i don't know, can anyone comment???

Before I get my Lowenhart's, I was thinking about getting the Giovanna Essen's, but I found the wheels to be so light weight, even in 20's. I just assumed that if I hit a pothole, that rim won't be able to handle as much---just my thoughts!!!!!

Those rims look like a much better version of the Lexus' 18s. Very nice imo.

Hmm, the britaine's comes in 20's?! I wanted those originally but for some reason, it only came in 18's back then?

My friend has the Gio Essen in 20's. Honestly, he regretted getting those. Unless you have a big-brake upgrade it shows too much brake and makes it look hollow. Some rims looks better in mags than in real life, IMO this is one of them.

I see alot off S500's with the essen, kind of confusing rim imo too graffic. I see a rim as a mechanical link to the ground, then once you have a solid mechanical design...looks come after. Nothing worse than having 300hp..Upgrading to a 20" 40 lbs rim and probably running 250 hp after all the mods.

Hmm, the only pic I have is this. Sorry that I don't have a pic with a car to go along with it. Have you seen them in real life? Its always better to look at the wheel your going to get in person before you buy them. Mags have a tendency to make their rim look better than it really is. With my rims, it actually looks better in real life than in the mags . Originally I wasn't going to buy my rims, but when I saw it in person on a S600, I was like:eek: :eek: .

It really hurts me to even hear such a comment. I am a 23/black man and am far from racist but it's people like you who make me think twice about even giving 2 *****s of people other than my race because of THAT mentality. People say racisim does not exist but here is a prime example of why it does. If anything it is at it's peek. I need not to waist my time any further because you are young, stupid, and most off all IGNORANT....I just don't believe that comment.
