I prefer JDM wheels personally, coz I think Japanese cars should stick to Japanese wheels. My dream wheels would probably be something like 20" Volk Mag or the new 20" Dronell Forged Mag wheels which are $2500/wheel. I saw one the other day made for Porsche, and it's definitely WAY too rich for my blood. Beautiful wheels though.

I am not made of money man! me still going to college (sophmore)...no job...no degree ....hopefully someday i will become a true balla like you! ohh yeah and stop posting pics of your car! your making me very jealous! lol ...i am really diggin your new wheels man....now you get to show off your dsr brake kit hehe...i dream for my gs to look like yours..i mean with your custom interior, pimp wheel setup (love the streched look), 2jz-gte, custom body kit..you must be living it up peace cody

LOL, you asked about MY dream setup. That would mean that $10,000 forged magnesium wheels that I said before. The wheels are soooooooooooooooo money that I think they only fit proper exotics like Ferrari and Porsche. I would never put it on my aristo coz I don't think that my car ever deserves to adorn itself with such wheels.

I have to echo TTPimp and Reggiek, what usually happens with me is I want something really bad, wait for it, get it, and then want something else 2 weeks later! LOL

I dont have a dream wheel setup, I like different things for different reasons, and on different cars.

iFORGED - I like them the most on SC430s, G35s and M3s and 745's (mega lip madness ). I have never been as content with a set of wheels as my Techniks right now (that being said, they will be sold this winter LOL). A few of the iFORGED setups that I were purchased during the group buy are going to be very nice

HRE- My all time favorite setup has to be JCramair's 840 (i think) on the Porsche (just so shiny and pretty lol). For some reason, the HRE's compliment more expensive, exotic machinery, like the Astons and Lambos that they use in their adds.

Dronell- It used to be RI-GS4's BR's but Jtanoyo has just taken that wheel somewhere else. Just JDM goodness at its best (Honorable mention- CA-05s)

Zauber Gettin- I mean really, is there even a need to mention these? Gettins are like a automatic entrant to ANY wheel lovers collection LOL. I think they are a perfect example of beauty in simplicity. All of these companies with the swirls, and spinners, and floaters, and the Gettin is still a show stopper with 5 simple spokes. My favorite Gettin setup has to be Bluelex, probably the most tasteful bling.

A/C Magnifique- The second wheel to make me say, "wow brushed aluminum CAN look better than chrome!" The details of the face are so beautiful on that wheel in brushed, the chrome sort of hides it.

Maya STM- the best looking mesh wheel IMO, the aggressive, bold spoke shaping, the brushed finish, etc etc. (honrable mention: the DTM's on alsilverbullets car)

Maido ST5- nice aggressive 5spoke

WORK- the Resax is mesh heaven as well (especially in chrome). The offsets that ATSOU has are really nice.

I have about 2.5million more so I will stop now. I have always loved wheels!

I love my current wheels - IForged Flux 3 pc in brushed aluminum with polished lip.

The only other wheel I can see myself going with (if they made it in 20"s) would be Fikse FM10's in 20 x 8.5 and 20 x 11. I just love the mesh-design and their finish

Here's a pic

I just have to rep Symbolic Luxury Wheels. Total hottness and quality.

If you want quality blingin' chome with a high-end forged triple chrome 3-piece wheel then Symbolic is your answer.

I have SL-55 in 20X8.5 and 20X9.5.

I get complements on these wheels constantly. People just love them.
