Hey guys.....which of these do you like the best? It's for my 93 LS400, and I am going with 20's. Which of these wheels have the best quality? Forge or cast?

Are the AutoCouture wheels also made in Japan?

Yesh, they are all made in Japan. However, none of those are forged, they all use cast centers. Cast is not lower quality necessarily, just a bit heavier. I would say they are all very good. I'd probably vote Auto Couture, even though I W/D both lines.

I like the AC Supremes and the LSport Model 4s. Tough call on which is a better wheel between these two. Both companies make top notch quality rims. I also like the AC Indicators.

On a LS, I would go with the AutoCouture Supremes or LSportline Model I Evo. The Model 4 is also a good looking wheel, but I think it is more of a "IS/GS" style of wheel. The LSportline brochure has a pic of the last generation LS sitting on Model I's and it looks great. Personally, I partial to the Model I's because I have them on my GS...pics do not do them justice.

On the LS, AutoCouture Supremes all the way...

Hey Peter, isn't the Lsportline Mod.4 forged? That's what they told me...

If it's forged, it's news to me. I'll call and find out inthe morning.
