Default New Auto Couture Website

I posted this on the SC forum, but I thought I'd post it here too.
Here's the new Auto Couture website...

www.auto-couture.com

Hey Manaray, I saw that they are making a 21" Indicator. Do you know if these will be staggerred? Also, is there any way to get the Supremes with a lip like the one on this XK8?

Hehehe...these guys are going web-site crazy...they also had some www.acs-something-er-other.com also...

Anyways, not sure on the 21" Indicators...I haven't really looked into 21" wheels at all...I'll post if I find out...

As for the Supreme's on the Jag...you might be able to get lips that with a LS400/430...

Default ACS Supremes

Manaray,
Do you know what offset/sizes I would need to get that lip (front & rear) on a LS430. I'm assuming these are 20x9 & 20x10.5 on the Jag.

Daygo - Yeah, I would guess 20x9 and 20x10...maybe 20x10.5...as for the offset, I'm going to guess +40 up front, maybe +42 to +45 out back...but don't quote me...I'm just guesstimating...

Dexter - yes...I'm sure SC sales would have be REALLY good (not that they were bad!)...Other than the hood (even though it's due to the S/C in there), I really like that SC...I think a "hump" (kinda like the IS300's hood) would look better...

The SC looks nice on 20" Indicators...

Actually, they're NOT a division of Giovanna...they're a division of Evolution in Japan. Giovanna is just the new US distributor (unfortunately)...

A few friends of mine have the AutoCouture Supremes and they haven't had any problems with them...Dunno why Sprewell would tell you that they're the softest...

If you could, avoid dealing with Sprewell.

Unless you get to know some of the guys there, they're going to give you a stupid price...if you go in, chit-chat with 'em, then they'll usually work with you...also, calling them with a quote from another shop and asking if they're interested in beating the price might help you...
