Cool What rims are on this GS?

I can't figure out what rims are on this GS. They look like Work but not quite there.

Yeah those wheels on that GS above are auto couture magnafiques.

jtanoyo has a similar style, a 7 spoke like the magnafiques but they are Brabus wheels and spokes are thinner.

i like them. both beautiful wheels

They fit definitely, maybe just the set in the classified section not for GS offset

i'm pretty sure that auto couture are custom wheels..
so their sizes vary for each particular model of cars

as far as purchasing a set.. i only know of www.evolution.co.jp or www.auto-couture.com

you can actually make the ones in the classifieds fit.. roll and pull your fenders & negative camber

they fit if you get the right offset. the ones in the classified they are off the sc430 and the offset is way too aggressive for the gs, that's all

and these wheels are pretty darn expensive. the ones in the classified are 20s with tires. and at the price it's at, it's already a pretty darn good deal

The wheels on the first car are called Autocouture Magnifique. They come in 2pc or 3 pc, the 3pc being quite a bit more expensive, but they look identical otherwise.

The wheels on my car are Dronell BR version II which are 3pc and forged. They do look similar to the Brabus Monoblock III wheels but they don't make those anymore.

I paid almost $5000 for the Magnifiques and tires in 19s way back in the day.
