That the mid 90s style. Now its all about the lip unless you have some exclusive JDM flat faced wheels.

ARe you sure about that? Maya rims are NOT forged. Who's to say that isn't some forged rim.

t0e i love the maya's though. i started to look for some before I decided on my volks.

Is it true, a rim with a lip appears smaller than a full face rim?, I just want some decent rims that doesnt affect my ride. I live in an area where the road is bumpy, so I dont know if going 19's would be wise. I was thinking 18's but all the good rims start from 19's.Any suggestions?

If you like the style of the wheel pictured, I would recommend the MRR GT1. It is the highest quality cast wheel out there...same casting as Maya, Lowenhart and Work.

They are forgeline wheels and are sold through your local lexus dealer. They have them on alot of showroom gs and ls models. I am 100% sure. I believe they are asking almost 7 grand with tires, and they werent even staggered

I would recommend you get at least some 19s, check the wheels available at www.d2autosport.com (CL vendor) to see all kinds of nice wheels for all types of budgets.

Those are LSE Design UK wheels. The company coachbuilds the pictured 2-door Range Rover Sport with all the accessories. However, not all hope is lost, because Klass wheels and Auto Couture wheels both have wheels similar to those of LSE. Check out the Klass KF200 and the Auto Couture Lattice wheel models and you'll see how similar they are in the design. You can check them out at www.d2autosport.com, www.auto-couture.com and/or www.wheelexperts.com. Hope this helps
