Thumbs up Just released a new design, looking for feedback

Just recently got a sample of our new LC888 which we'll be debuting on an IS-F demo Vehicle at SEMA

We mounted up a set on our IS250 to take some pictures and get some feedback.







What do you guys think?

Looks nice, but i think it needs a step lip or have spokes on inner step on rim. Its different overall.

yes more concave! not really feeling the center though. Takes up too much of the wheel IMO. Maybe itll look better with a different finish

I like them! Do you have any rolling shots or a video? Would love to see them in motion.

I really like the face, reminds me of some sick HRE Forged wheels, but I feel like that kind of face needs a lip. Step or Flat Polished.

Has potential. I think maybe a different colour would do better justice.

More cave, more polished aluminum, smaller hub maybe.
