Damn, that was quick!!

Pretty nice. I like seeing spoked type wheels on LS's. I usually like seeing dish style wheels but these give me more options. They do look like Altstadts a bit, but with nicer lips. Any significant differences in quality or price???

Oh yeah, also check out the new Altstadt wheel...

I don't have prices offhand but I'm sure they're around the same price as most other 3-piece 19" wheels...

Personally, I like the SSR's and Rays and I might do them on my next "project" car...

Question

Yo Ray, what would these wheels cost: Super Chrome-Gold pierce bolt? In a 19'?

Globe,

I noticed the Salamanders too. Nice, but 18's are a little small for me. At least some of the Japanese manufacturers are coming around to 19's.

Manaray,

The new Altstadts are nice. Kinda have that Indicator, Equip look. Just a clean 5 spoke. Nice Wald kit on the GS.

Geez, I wonder where they got the "inspiration" for the A/X logo. Are we going to see rims called Versace-o and Gucco? Nice rims tho...

Ray, look more closely. Those offset examples would work fine on your car. (unless Im looking at the wrong wheel?) Dont forget how small a mm really is. heehee
Does anyone like the Black centers with polished lips?.....I love that look, but Im not down with the gold bolts...
I just dont think the Black is very versatile or timeless.(might grow tired of it) I saw a pic of 19" Blitz z-1 on a Supra with that color scheme and it was AWESOME. Also, on the HRE web-site there is a mention of color options. I think either painted or anodized? Tiny
