yeah...i looked into the auto coutures and vip modulars. but these amistads are 9 spoke to the 7 spokes of these wheels. i am actually deciding between the auto couture magnifiques or the iforged technik. im getting them in black, and the magnifiques in black are scaring me a bit. i think the huge face of the wheel might just make it look like a huge black circle. thats why i think this wheel would be perfect, more spokes = more holes through the wheel. anyway, im gonna keep searching for these amistad klaud style in 22. if i cant find them, what do you guys think i should get? sorry, for the long post lol

i don't think the type k is available in 22" at all (they just don't make it), so i guess you are out of luck

yeah, they dont. hopefully somebody here knows or i can find somebody that makes the same design. since wheel companies copy each other in designs.

i was also attracted to these Amistad Klaud and did some research along with this body kit. If not already mentioned, these 21" Klaud are forged. I wish they make those in 3 pieces design and in 22" configuration. I am not sure about the offset range available on this particular wheel, but the ones they put on the demo car is very conservative.

Continue my wheel search now....

A set of wheel spacers away from perfect!

Love the diamond-cut finish.

I agree, the Mags have more fitment options and sizes available. Now if the 21" K's had more fitments and sizes with the rivets, I think I'd opt for that instead

These are the only fitments that I have seen listed for the 21" Klauds:

21 x 9.0J 35 5/120
21 x 10.0J 40 5/120

Sounds pretty conservative

Yeah, I was sayin' to myself, if only the fitment were a bit more aggressive.. then they'd be perfect!

Looks hot in 21 to me. I've seen a few LS with 22's and they looked good but since I always prefer a little rubber under my feet, I'd go with the 21's. The guys at the dealership are always so complimentary of my cars because they have plenty of rubber and still look good. So many people come in with issues caused by rubber band tires. Super low profile tires are just not best for daily driven cars. With that said, it looks hotter but not practical. So these 21's would be perfect for me.

yeah that's too conservative. from what i heard i believe the fitment on the ls460 is close to that of the sc430? the setup they put on is almost like one for the 2gs....

Rims look good, but looks very HEAVY too.

if it's forged then actually it might be lighter

being dish type doesn't make it "heavier" at all. thin 5 spoke wheels of the same kind usually weigh more or less the same

Just saw this thread. Great pics Seize!

I've always loved Magnifique's in the diamond cut finish, and I've admired them in your sig (photoshopped?). These Amistads look great also. 20's look pretty small on the big LS, and I wondered how 21's would look. Well, it's clear - they look great!
