Default LS400 20" chrome suggestions

I was looking at the Dronell CA05's but they are not being sold anymore I guess. So what other makes/models of 20" chrome rims would you guys suggest? I am trying to keep it under $2500.

$2500 just for wheels? Or wheels and tires?

Well again looking at the works, $650-700 a wheel in chrome, cough up $2800 just for wheels, $1000 for tires, hell even Giovanna 20" knock off corsica's are $3500 with tires, it is worth the extra $300 to do it right!

I am really becoming a fan of HRE wheels, I'd suggest looking at those. I am sure on my next car, I'll have a set.

Although I like clean Japanese rims..HRE's are still one of my favorites. They are a little expensive, but hey, HRE's are extremely well-built and look clean and classy.

without a doubt, HRE's are outstanding. I think he can get like 2.7 HRE's for $2500.

Hey can get *2* HRE's in 20" high polish for $2500...

Well, I'd rather have two HRE's and wait to get the other two than have four Giovannas....

RSG - You should seriously consider saving some more money...you want to play the "big balla" part...don't got "discount big balla"....

$2500 for the wheels only. I will probably buy the tires locally to save on the shipping.

Good luck! The fact that you want chrome is already about a $400 penalty (we won't get into the aesthetic pentalties of chrome... )...so you're looking at wheels that would sell for $2100 in silver...in 20...hmmm....you probably want a fat deep lip too...good luck! I can't think of one worth buying at that price point.

Dude, it's your $$$$ buy what you want, but I can tell u FIRST HAND, some knock-offs have cheaper quality (bend and chip easy) and the average person sees CHROME, and the Enthusiest sees CHEAP!
