That's a HUGE improvement over the way the car looks stock. Car companies need to start running their designs by the guys at Auto Couture.. we'd see a whole new generation of awesome looking cars like that.
I never thought they could make that car look that good.

Ok, by popular request... (I sized it to what 20's would look like....front and rear)...and it's lowered (quite a bit actually!)
I think Chrome on silver looks TERRIBLE though...at least on this car...however, that's only decent LS430 pict I had to work with right now...

Auto Couture has just posted all the sizes that will be available for the Magnifique (and their other wheels) on their website, here's the link...
http://www.auto-couture.com/catalog/.../magnifique3p/
Also, I've contacted ACS in Japan via email (they're very responsive!) and they told me that the wheel will be available in February. They also told me to contact Ezernet Inc. in Hunington Beach to get a hold of any of their products saying that is their US office. After doing some research, I found out that Ezernet imports all of ACS's products (as well as other brands) to the US. Also, they specialize in selling vehicles already accessorized with Japanese aftermarket parts. Some of you may have seen this LS430 for sale on Ebay...Ezernet was selling this car with the full ACS treatment...

Huh???? i thought WTW (Giovanna Wheels) was the authorized importer (at least that's what they said)!!! I got the dealer catalogs and everything from them....do you have the Ezernet contact information? Hopefully we can get better pricing thru them than WTW. Our pricing is not that great, maybe that's why.

Steve Ganz deals with Ezernet so you can get them from Steve also.
You saw it here first, those Giovanna guys are a bunch of idiots...
Giovanna is a ripoff...their wheels are SO overpriced (for what they are)....
Steve Oyama is a really cool guy....down with the legit JDM scene too!

Sounds good to me! I had to carry the Giovanna line just to get access to Auto Couture. However, it is my understanding that WTW maintains a large inventory of this stuff. Manaray, do you know anything about the inventory over at Ezernet?

I'm not sure about what Ezernet stock situation is...but I'd be willing to wait for any set of quality wheels! I've gotten over the "I need it right this second" syndrome...

I think first fitment is too aggressive for street use (rolling, in other words). The show fitment is just parked, doesn't need to move (at least not much). The wheels are too wide to fit w/o spacers, prob. hit on the inside fenderwell or suspension.
As far as the quote, please send an email to peter@wheelexperts.com with exactly what wheel, finish, sizing, car its going on, etc.. and I will get right on it!
