I need an opinion of my Auto Couture rims.

It's partly due to the flange thickness near the assembly bolts. This region is extremely thick to accommodate the blind screws that hold the wheels together. It's a neat wheel style, but the design with some exposed and some hidden bolts limits the lip exposure. About 1" of the lip is effectively "covered up" by the center disk.
It seems like they could have used a lower disk on the rear wheels. The forged Auto Couture stuff is made here in the USA, and the manufacturer probably isn't that familiar with the Lexus cars... Too bad, would have looked even better with a bit more lip!
Neat loking wheels, though. I'd roll on them for a while. It'll look better once the car is lowered!

Your new AC wheels are super sweet imo. Keep them. You won't regret it.

Also the Red Lable wheels have very limited fitments for bbk clearance, its one of the reasons A/C really died in the MB market, the Red Labels do not clear any AMG calipers. The Black Label wheels remidied this and also brought custom one of fitment to the table.
I'm not sure what happened here as it looks a little too conservative all around, but I just did a set of Black Label 22" Latives on a 7 series and they are awesome! I can honestly say all pro's no con's.

this is awesome news i have to say! when i look at the standard AC setup, i always find it weird, either way too aggressive or not aggressive enough. but with the black labels everything is custom. big

well, given that option, you still need the shop (or whoever order the wheels with AC) to know what they are doing ![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Hmm if you're not happy now, you won't be later for the wheels, I would say sell them, and get something else, the bad thing is, you may lose money for what you paid for them.

The AC Frantic's are one of my current favorites, they look sweeter everytime I see them. I didn't think they would look that good on a big sedan but they do. He should KEEP THOSE WHEELS!
Or sell them to me!
