Thanks D-2 AutoSport!! You give us poor folks some hope!! I will PM you soon!!! I know I'll get 20s for my IS, but I'm just still trying to decide between the D-Forged wheels and the Auto Coutoure wheels that look like the Asanti 128s (10 split-spoke wheels), the I-Forged Revs, and the Modulare M3 or M4 wheels... What a TOUGH decision... and to make matters worse, I don't think there are any shops in El Paso that carry any good brand wheels either (the ones I've seen carry Pep Boys type wheels) back home in PR there are nice brand wheel shops around every freakin' corner. I just wish I could see some of the wheel styles I'm trying to decide on up close and personal...

I think a lot more people will pick the G because it is easier to visualize that rim on most cars. It has straight spokes and is more common. I personally would pick D since not many other people would pick it and when it comes down to a true side by side, I think D will be more aggressive than G. I also think people will say, "Wow, I would not have thought that rim would look so good?"

Either way you go between the two - your set!! Nice job with this post.
Uh, you must be my car -twin. LOL I 100% concur.

I actually ended up going with the Auto Couture Lative wheels in 20". They are not pictured in this thread. I dealt with Derrick from D2, Steve Ganz from Carson and Peter Lee from WheelExperts, from whom I bought the wheels. They were all great people to deal with

It looks good!! It seems to be a replica of the BBS wheels posted above. Are they cheaper?

They are actually made under license of bbs as you can hardly read below the ASA brand, a set of 4 rims in 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 costs about 1200 Euros. You can hardly get 2 of those BBS GT wheels in 18" for that price

Solomoan -

Derrick will get back to you, it sometimes takes a day or two since they are really busy. You can also call him if thats easier.
