Default Cordon Wheels Review

First and foremost, I would like to thank Derrick and Stef at D2Autosport for working with me on choosing a nice set of wheels for my IS250 AWD.

I recently had XIX X05 Brushed Aluminum w/ black accents and a brushed lip and found that they got dirty very easily. Tar would always cover the lips and it was a pita to keep clean.

Before:


With Cordon Alloys, I went with the CR-10- Matte Machined Black / Chrome Lip I am running a pretty aggressive setup for an AWD with:
20x8.5x30 in the front and 20x10.0x38 in the rear. 4 inch lip in the rear.

Not only are the wheels visually pleasing but they are so easy to take care of. The actual face of the wheel seems to get a light dusting and with one wipe it comes clean. The chrome lips also are a breeze to maintain. They get dirty but I have found that no tar gets stuck to them and can be cleaned to a high shine with regular car wash soap.

The only downside is that I found a small dent from an unknown cause on the inside of one of my rear lips.


Thanks for looking and I highly recommend if your looking for a 1 pc wheel that you look into Cordon Alloys.

Feel free to contact our forum sponsors Derrick or Stef to inquire at:

Each time I see your trunk, I forget about the wheels.

Ill take pics. Its a dent like you would get on your door. Not a dent/bend on the actual lips edge. So far these wheels have survived 2 MAJOR pot holes without any issues.

I guess that makes two of us. Nice wheels but most of all even better trunk.
