Very nice - it would look great on either a white or black car. Can't wait to see them mounted!

If you make a step lip wheel, Please make it in 21" so the center still looks like 20" I dont like how step lipped wheels look so small.

Although I love Step Lip wheels, they don't do very well in terms of sales. It doesn't make much sense to design, produce and send to testing a wheel that .5 out of 10 people would buy. Then you have to hope that of the .5 people, 100% of them are willing to pay $5000 wheels alone.

For that reason we still carry HRE others who make step lip wheels, let me know what size and style you need a quote for

Those look sick. I had gold wheels on my 350z so I'm partial to these! he he. I always wondered how gold would look on USB, since it has a slight purple hue to it, so it's a bit different from the STi's color combo. Keep us posted!

The Best looking STEPPED lip wheel ever made is probably the BBS LM's (remember that white IS-F with the 20" LM's posted here?)

The gold wheel looks pretty cool, how is the "real" quality of this wheel? I see the term used pretty loosely with just about every brand of wheel maker these days...

Will watch for it when you get them installed

How much do D2 wheels run for? 20" for 2IS fitment?

I think a gunmetal finish would look nice on a light colored IS-F

Its really hard to capture gold in pics, the wheels are not this 'yellow' in person. Its more of a greenish gold, a little more pale.

Well we send our wheels to independent standardized testing. Our wheels passed test for 1600lbs load rating, which is more than enough for most all our intended vehicles.

In addition to that, we have vehicles with over 12months of driving in NYC with our wheels, which is the best demonstration of strength and durability that I can think of!
