I think VeilSide/Andrew Racing DISH wheels is very nice. That's the art of design.



Also, VolkRacing's TE37 series looks nice too. Especially MAG. That's the art of technology and engineering.

Ray Ray,

Man I am NEVER going to understand rims!! Now I know you, and how picky you are on QUALITY and ORIGINALITY, so I KNOW these are both GREAT GREAT GREAT wheels...

However style wise, I think they are both UGLY AS HELL!!!!!!! Now the Veilside/Andrew Racing rims looked good on your photoshop GS but DAMN, those VOLKS are just HORRIBLE!! Those might be the ugliest looking rims I've ever seen!! If I saw those on a car, I would almost PUKE!! In actuality though, they would prolly cost more than the rims I had on my car!! WEIRD

Now that I said this, bring on the slack about how I don't know what I'm talking about....

There are SO MANY good looking wheels out there...here's a short list...

HRE 540, 543, 545, 545, 549, 648...
Kinesis Motorsports K58, K28
Fikse Aro, Mesh, FM/5, FM/10
Veilside Racing Dish, Racing F (too bad they don't come in 20's!)
Most Volks and Rays
Weds Kranze ERM, Cerebrus...
Carlsson 1/16, 1/6 Evo, 2/6, 2/5
Hartge Classic, Nova 5
Brabus III, V, VI
BIM Creative Zeit series
AVS/Yokohama Model 5, Kreuzer series
etc., etc...like I said, there's a LOT...

Lexdriver18 - Even if you don't like the style of the wheel, you have to respect the technology and engineering behind that wheel...personally, I think it's a great looking wheel, would I put it on my Lexus? Maybe a IS or a SC, but not on a GS or LS

yah that's a good point.

I would not put the TE37 MAGs on my GS but hey TE37 is still one of the most popular rims in Japan now and it's also one of the first forged magnesium rims on the market. It looks real good on an IS. I've seen it before.

silver gs with silver ld1's with chrome lip ... nice.. or a black gs with that combo

those wheels featured on the lsportline silver gs are nice also.

Manaray and Globe,

I can see where you're coming from. As far as technology and build quality, that could be one of the better rims on the market... However style wise, not my type!!

I really like the: (in no particular order)

Lowenhart BS-5 Super Crystal
L-Sportline Collection
Volk AV3
Lowenhart BR-5
AND
If I had the money, I would love to buy the Davin Spinning Wheels just cuz the spining thing is CRAZZY DOPE! Plus, you NEVER see those around! (I have seen them on a CL-600 and S-500 in my area but never on a Lexus)

Don't worry because spinning wheel knock off's are coming!!!

But if it's not DAVIN then they are a rip off and your an idiot unless you pay 10K for the origanals...right manaray?

And in my opinion any thing DAZZ carries is nice stuff.....I also really like those Dronell wheels.....

I like the Work Equip and Lsportline collection. I also find lowenhart LD-1 very elegant, but there are just too many on the road, regardless on trucks, SUV, or etc...

Work Equip: superb lip size. biggest I've seen.

Lsportline Evo: very elegant, just like brabus for Mercedes
