Thanks a lot for the feedback!!! These wheels are a bit pricey, but I think they're worth it!!! They are real 3 piece forged wheels made of T6-6061 aerospace grade aluminum. They are probably going to cost somewhere in the vicinity of low $6,000s (for 20s with tires), but they are custom made for the vehicle ordered and guaranteed to not give any headaches (no rubbing!!!).

I don't know what the exact measurements are, but I think they will be 20x8.5 with 2" lip and 20x9.5 with 3" lip. Peter at www.wheelexperts.com or Derrick at www.d2autosports.com know the exact measurements and can provide more information about the pricing. I've talked/e-mailed them a couple of times with lots of questions (I would be buying these wheels without seeing them in person, so I just had to make sure of a LOT of things) and they are very knowledgeable in the field, friendly, and really enthusiastic about wheels, so even if you don't get Modulares, they can still find you nice wheels for your ride and provide great service!!!

What I like the most about the wheels is that they are hubcentric and don't require spacers. They are customized to accept our beloved TPS sensors, and they provide the right offsets/measurements so that there's no guessing and no headaches when installed. Here's another chop of the wheel, but in charcoal finish for all you "dark wheel" lovers out there!!!

I haven't purchased the wheels or negotiated a price yet, I'm just going by the retail price they provided me initially, but they said (Derrick and Peter) that they could provide a better price once I decided to order them. Can you PM me the information for your dealer?? Thanks!!

$6000? Wow, I wish I had your spending power on rims/tires. Nice rims for the wealthy CL members.

ditto...they're waaaaaaaay too tacky for a Lexus.

I agree. Absolutely nothing tacky about these wheels and other forged customs such as HRE, IForged and DPE.

You get what you pay for, good and bad, (which includes more haters and more headaches). In other words, if you drive your car everyday, perhaps these are not the best choice.

I'm sure the next mod after you do those wheels will be a 10 carat platinum grill fo yo front toofs........

Those wheels on a expedition or denali.....sure. On an IS..........just stupid. My opinion only of course....your money though.

A little too bling bling, not really my style. I suggest some HRE rims if you got the cash, and it def looks like you do. Just my 2 cents.
