The AutoCouture Magnifique is also another nice dish style wheel. Reminiscent of the Brabus MonoBlock III (which they discontinued)

The above wheel is the 2-Piece and only come in 18"

Here's a picture of the 3-piece that's available in 19" and 20" (in Diamond Cut, Chrome, or Silver...)

Will, thanks for the speedy update, I always have 130 % in you = ). I will be going to Heavenly this weekend, so maybe next time for sure.

Charle's new bumper looks more aggressive, i think it is an autocouture 2nd version kit? It looks much better in person, and keep in mind that there are 4 HID lightning on that picture. hehe

MAke up your mind Steve, Auto couture all the way. It is what you think matters, as to weight, 20''s are all heavy anywayz, especially in Chrome.

Good luck

Wei, you're friend's ride is nice...do you have a picture of it with the new v2 front bumper? Did he get the v2 sideskirts too?

Enginyr - If you want lightweight 20's in a style that you'll like, you might want to wait before you dunk a lot of cash into wheels...

That is an excellent price...I would take it if I were you. If it comes with tires for that price, even better....

with tires? 3100 for autocouture 20 is an awesome deal already. this is not some cheap knock off.

Manaray, hm.. let me call see if he has any pics on his new body kit. I think both the side/front looks a lot better in the new v2 kit. but you don't have to worry about it, since your kit stands for its own = )

What kind of tires are you getting for $1200? Are you getting Nitto's in 245/35?

You're better off getting 245's all around. That way you can rotate them which will make them last longer....personally, I'd go with Kumho's if you're trying to save money...the Yokos wear out fast...but honestly, I would pick the S-03's...that's what I'm getting for my next sets of wheels...

Wei - Hehehe...yeah, if you can get some pictures, it would be nice. I have a picture of a v2 on a silver Aristo (that I posted a while back) but I'd like to see some different angles...

I was thinking about doing that kit (it was a toss up between that kit, the one I got, and one other kit) but I'm glad I got this one instead...it's very unlike most of the other kits (due to the rounded front end)...
