I have them now!!

The problem is that a dream only lasts a short period of time, so I will probably want something different when I wake up!

I agree with TTurboPimp. WHen you get that great set of wheels you'll eventually see something else and wonder about getting those. It's called modmania - can't stop modding disease.

I love my present wheels but I'm thinking about the next car. For it I'm having fantasies of a few:
Zauber Gettins (sorry Adrian, I love em)
Lowenhart LSR
GFG GF1-5
One of the new Maya's
One of the Work wheels

I've got a few others in mind but who knows, it might be time to ride stock.

NAH! Heck NO!

Work LS406
Auto Couture Indicator
Wald Streifen

Fantasy, one of the above patterns forged from a hybrid alloy billet and weighing in at 10#'s. Impervious to chemicals, won't oxidize, stronger....blah-blah. Of course it has to be reasonable and not more than $800/wheel. Oh, wait...this is a "dream" wheel...make that $100/wheel and the formula for the alloy is lost after my set of wheels is made.

aloha03gs, liking HRE a little too much? heheheh....

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 have the setup I want now.

19x10, 19x8 iForged Aero, polished lip, face and barrel, nice lips.

I like the Autocouture Magnifique. Brushed face, chrome lip. The 20s would look hot on a dropped LS430.

A couple more I wouldn't mind having are iForged Classics, polished lip, face and barrel, nice lips

HRE 540R, same setup, and Zauber Gettins with a brushed face and chrome lips. I'll post photos when I find them.

iForged Classic:



Zauber Gettin:



AutoCouture Magnifique:

That is very true.....

I love my WORK REZAX II, and I've always thought this set are my FINAL DREAM WHEELS.......but I kinda regret why didn't I get the Fabulous Profound or Altstadt Dish.
My List:
1. Junction Produce 20' Scara OZ in Reverse Lip (which doesn't exist.)
2. WORK REZAX II (hey, I spent $4500 for them, they deserve to be in the 2nd place )
3. Fabulous Profound
4. AutoCouture Supreme
5. BRABUS Monoblock III

Oh, and don't forget spinners & wire wheel
