Wheel Recommendations
imho they are all very good stuff and good quality. yes the wald is super expensive, imho a bit overpried, but you get the brand name as well
for the work vs amistad. don't quote me (i have never owned them before) but my friend who has gotten before brands before, say that both are awesome but the works are a tad better in the quality. again i am just quoting my good friend's comment

If I think correctly, Wald will be the priciest at $4000 a set, then Work at about $3000 and finally Amistad at around $2400 for a 19",depending on options, finish ect.... Does this sound about right??
Any opinions?? They are all so similar..
Any opinions as to machined, polish or chrome??
My RSpec 680 hight controller just came in
maybe this weekend I'll be low riding....The Work Machine finish is very nice- for example, look at the Euroline SL- it has Works "machined" type finish ( i forget the catchy name they gave it...)
Some say its one of the best finishes in the industry (I will be finding out in 8 weeks
- keep it on the D/L)

they ARE similiar, it really depends on your preferrence. Qualitywise, Japan's service is world famous, so no need to worry. If you got a Silver car, then I will recommend Silver Polished, but if you like bling bling style, add some $ and you can get Chrome.

Black has been a trend in the US market; therefore, in 2005, we made our new Type S (to be available in April) of course, it's available in Silver and Chrome as well

Photoshop
DXC,
1 - Can you photoshop a polished dish on a silve LS430
2 - Are Dish Type Amistad wheels available with out the rivets
3 - Can I get a silver instead of a black center cap on the wheel
I like the other styles that you have shown, but I think the Dish Type will always be a classic
Thanks, I appreciate the help.
