Default Hmm This New Lowenhart Wheel, Nice Or Not?

I try doing a search function on here but couldn't find anyone discussing this new LD1 SP wheel. A little too much going on for my taste. My local rim shop quoted at $8000 w/tires with a 8.5/10 setup. . Does anyone have any real pics of this wheel on a GS?

I was looking into the LD1 with no lip. I know most of you guys like the lip, but I saw a pic of the new LD1's w/o lip on a silver GS, and I think it looks SICK ! Though I can't find that wheel selling at any website


Moderaters: I know this is suppose to be in the wheel section but I thought I would get more of a response in this section, sorry for the inconvenience if any.

Isn't that the spinning one? Been discussed in the wheels forum, lots of responses -->https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...threadid=52271

Yuch. I like the LD1 (one of the few of that style I do), but not this abberation.

I dont' like them personally. I think they're too "blatant" for a lack of better words. It's messy and all over the place as it trying too hard. Like NICHE's for example, they're just too much to be considered classy.

My 2 cents

HELLO?!?!?!?!

I KNOW you are all not that stupid...THIS IS NOT A REAL LOWENHART!!!! IT'S JUST SUPERBUYTIRES.COM WAY TO MAKE MORE MONEY. JUST LIKE ALL THERE "SPINNING WHEELS"......HMMM Look, all the spinning wheels use the same spinner, I wonder why?? Maybe because it's just a center cap they stuck on all there wheels?!??!

i don't know about them not being real lowenharts. i doubt superbuytires with their kick-*** selection would carry a fake and then plainly put it in the lowenharts section, though they all use the same cheesy spinner. plus it can't be that easy for a fake company to make 23" ogres and price them that high.

either way, they sure are ghetto
