They do come in 19? And fit on the IS? If so, nice. Did you get any info about the TPMS compatibility?

Pending that answer, and weight info, I think I may be sold. That's a pretty decent price, too.

EDIT: Although I don't know too much about this manufacturer, either... do they make durable, high-quality wheels?

Hey pisaykotik I wonder did you mention anything to the dealer about a group buy?

AME is Enkei's luxury brand. And as far as I know, Enkei is a top/good quality wheel maker. They supply wheels for the McLaren-Mercedes F1 team.

That's a good idea. I'll give him a call on Monday. On TPMS, he did mention that AME will get back to him about it.

If they agree to the group buy count me in. I have a dealer in this area that is going to get back to me on Monday about them. I can't stop thinking about these wheels.

haha...i know, i'm almost to the point of needed a few warm up laps around my parking garage before i take it out on the open road so my tires stick for traction.

but really. the timing is perfect. i'm so glad i've waited to get rims.
