Default Got My New Wheels!

After much research I ended up going with a new wheel line called Automonde. I could not be happier with the quality and results of these wheels. They went so far as to discuss with me their CAD drawings of these wheels while testing for the IS. Big props to Aaron at Wheel Experts for outstanding customer service. I ended up with close to a 5" lip in the rear!


Lexus IS model: IS250
Wheel Make & Model: Automonde Vitesse
Wheel Size (diameter and width): 20x9 (F)/20x10.5 (R)
Wheel Offset Front: Not Sure
Wheel Offset Rear: Not Sure
Compatible with tire pressure sensors? Yes

Tire Make and Model: Toyo Proxes T1R
Tire Size Front: 245/30-20
Tire Size Rear: 285/25-20

Suspension mods: Eibach Pro-Kit
Amount of drop: 1.4 (F) 1.0 (R)

Slight rubbing on wide turns in the front wheels. No rubbing during normal driving.

On to the pics...

That is a great wheel brand and I love their logo. I have been curious about their cinq wheel. Who was your contact for Automonde itself and what was the approximate price scale. I assume they are in thre 12-1600 range per wheel???
