The LX1's have been out a couple months...they have NO LIP and the spokes stick out PAST the edge of the wheel. I just looked at one today. Now why would you want to change your "very good quality" ADR's for some "overpriced" Lowenharts?

And the Supremes don't cost much more than the 3-piece LD-1s...

"Well isn't that special?"
Maybe I should buy some knock-offs so people who don't anything about wheels can be impressed!

1 piece LD1 LX is a knock off on LD1, Stick with Auto couture or the original LD1 Steve!!! Auto couture looks much more exclusive, Manaray show us some more pics of it besides the one with Benz Cap. LD1 is superb, but so many truck/navigator have them already = (

The pic really doesn't do the rim justice...I called your friend charles (real cool guy) He's rolling on the "supremes" and rubs because of the 10" width.

Speaking of AutCouture Supreme's, they just released a new version called the Supreme-BR. It's a 2-piece wheel (which has it's advantages over 3-piece). It's much less than the 3-piecers...but it only available in 18" and 19"...if you crave 20's, you'll have to kick down the cash...

19x8.5" +37 High Disk - Silver Polish = $587/each
19x9.5" +37 Standard Disk - Silver Polish = $602/each

Complete set..only $2378/set plus shipping from Japan...you guys can call Steve Ganz to find out what the ACTUAL price is...

Wei - The LX is a knockoff of the LD1 but they're both made by Lowenhart... Hehehe...even I think it's ok to knock-off your own designs! Hehehehhe

the price is real good for some nice 19s. How much for 18s?

But I don't think these will look right with 18s. At least 19s for the Supremes IMO.

BTW anyone in SoCal with a Silver GS and a bodykit and these AC Supremes? In 19s or 20s. My friend saw that GS in Rowland Heights.

Like Lee2375 said, Madio sells them here under the MD1 brand name (Madio is DAZZ BTW...eh, it's just a center cap...)

Anyways, I think the LX/MD1's are ugly. I just saw them the other day at the Sprewell Motorsports IRL "Kick Off" party on a Saturn SUV (whatever that hideous thing is called)...ugh...I guess if you're into the ghetto looking bling-bling type stuff, it's perfect...I'd rather get 19" AutoCouture Supreme BR's than 20" LX/MD1's...
