I saw this wheel at the 'Taste of Lexus' event on a silver IS and I just fell in love, but I don't know what brand they are. Anyone know?

http://www.dcrwheels.com/wheels.html it's the Laguna Seca wheel.

I too am in deep relations with these wheels but they are outstandingly expensive.

Unfortunently, yes they are. Honestly though, I think these wheels are amazing and would be worth the wait in order to have them. A member has them here on a TP I think and he has great pictures of them on the car. 20's in these look awesome on a TP.

That must have been Hartawan's car, I think he has those rims on his Silver IS350. I too really like those rims a lot!

I don't know his name but I'll search for the thread he had those pictures in. Really gives true value to these wheels.

Here's a cheaper alternative. You can get a set for around 3K.

I got a price quote from DCR... price is up there man. I asked for a setup like this: 19 x 8.5, 19 x 10.0. Runs about $3,400 without tires.

That car does look a lot like the one I saw at the event. Maybe it was him. Well I guess it's time to start saving . I wonder how they would look on my obisidian black IS.

Don't they make these in cast? Stupid forged rims leave a deep hole in your pocket ...I've been looking for replica's of the DCR's but no luck.

I hate having to spend big bucks for wheels but unless the wheels are black, you won't have that look that you get with multipiece wheels.
