How is L-Sportline quality?? I mean, I know it's good but just how good??
Particularly the Model IV's... I like those A LOT!! I hear they have an 18 x 8.5" model out now!!
Anyone have any pics or info on it??

Well all of those wheels are similarly priced. I would pick HRE's over all of them because:
1) They're forged (Lowenharts are not and some Lsportline has a couple that are)
2) They're lighter because they're forged.
3) They're stronger because they're forged.
4) If you have any problems with the wheels or need them refinished or modified, HRE is in California. Lowenhart and Lsportline are both from Japan.
5) Less people have HRE's (I doubt any HRE will ever get "played out"
6) HRE's can be custom made to whatever setup YOU want. Not some predetermined "fit on as many cars as possible" setups like the Lowenharts. With Lsportline, you're limited to what THEY think belongs on a Lexus...what if you want 20x10.5 instead of 20x10?
7) HRE's come with many different finishing options. Silver, Brushed, High Polished, Chrome, Painted color, Powder Coated, and...uh...Gold if you're a rap star...(that just gave me the chills!)
Don't get me wrong, Lowenhart and Lsportline both make great wheels that great quality...but if I'm spending the same amount of cash, I'd rather get the best.
Now if you can get Lsportlines or Lowenharts for $2000, then go for it!
