Just wondering

Here in asia those exact same wheels are made by Enkei...they are known as the Enkei FS-01, and they are 100% identical cosmetically aside from the brand name...i am very sure those Enkeis are not knockoffs...besides..Enkei is not a knockoff brand

I'm just wondering what relationship the brand AME has to Enkei...are Enkeis known as AMEs in the US?

Those are nice wheels though...seen a few cars running the Enkei versions here in my country. But first time seeing it on a Lexus

I love everything about that setup! I am probably going with the re760 bridgestone potenza. The re-11 is badass but to much! I think i will go with that exactly tire size you have as well

Default End of the line...

Well it's a sad day for me, my AME Tracer FS-01s are going to come off the car soon. One of the rear wheels was cracked and bent, causing the tire to deflate completely. After having it sit at Wheel Techniques for about a week they have determined that it is not repairable. The crack expanded nearly 180* around the rim and after they attempted to weld it the wheel will no longer balance properly so it is unusable. I already contacted the AME distributor and the FS-01s were discontinued a long time ago so there is no available replacement in my size/offset.

So I have 3 functional wheels and no way to find a 4th replacement. Unless someone happens to have an extra 19x9.5 +40ET FS-01 laying around, I am going to have to go back to stock wheels and tires and do something with the 3 wheels. Probably sell them, or turn them into a really expensive coffee table or something. Let me know if you either have a spare FS-01 you can part with, or are interested in buying 3 wheels.

So here is one last photo of my baby in its glory days, I guess 3 years was a good run.
