Opinions please on new wheels
Has anyone seen these wheels before? They're from http://www.dcrwheels.com
My questions are:
1) Think it would look good on a GS350?
2) Have you seen a less expensive copy anywhere?
3) Is this wheel different from the Asanti (bottom), or is it the same with a different offset in the photos?

Are you kidding me? These wheels are almost 4k without tires. If I buy a copy at only 3k for wheels is that cheap?
On my LS430 I put real Lowenhart BR5's. But I've seen quite a few copies of that wheel that look identical to mine. Maybe the real BR5's are a few pounds lighter, plus I have the center caps that say Lowenhart. How much more is that worth?

How much is it anyway??
Cheap wheels doesn't always mean bad quality!!
Look how big I-Forged have grown now... They were simply HRE copies when they first came out few years ago...

Keep in mind.. just because it is a 3-pc forged wheel does not mean it's "the $iht". There is much more to making a 3-pc forged wheel than just forging some parts and bolting them together.

There are just too many wheel manufactures out there today that throw together a 3-pc forged wheel line overnight and charge ridiculous amounts.

I have not done many Asanti sets but I have had pretty good sucess with them (I did a few 20" sets on CLS-55's)
For that mesh design I'd go with the ZONE 1 or ZONE 8 most likely

How long does it take to get a 19" or 20" set for a GS350?
