Those are the Monoblock III (2pc) by Brabus. They may be discontinued

Default Check the alternatives...

You can check some alternative models similar to those Brabus Monobloc III:
- AutoCouture Magnifique (very popular where I come from esp on Mercedes, pricey...)
- one of the Dronel.
Where I'm from, Brabus Monobloc III are rare, hence the used prices are expensive up to the point they're not worth it.

Dronell made a similar style as well

Here's a picture of the BR



It's really unfortunate that Dronell does not manufacture wheels anymore. They had some really nice models.

Thinking of putting 20's on my '01 LS430, which is currently on original 16's. Concerned about 1) ride quality/comfort and 2) I don't want to look too ghetto (i.e., I am an attorney and I can't go out and meet clients with spinners and crap on my car. Also concerned about "extra attention" from the police). I am considering factory 18's but Lexus has some butt ugly factory rims. Any thoughts?

If you're that concerned about ride comfort, get 19's.
A good choice will prevent the ghetto look from happening.
I think the police are used to nice cars these days. Although a rogue cop is always around the corner, most only bother people who are acting/driving suspiciously.

It shouldn't matter if your a lawyer, if you get some classy 20's on the car you can acheive a nice look without going overboard. A lot of people have rims on there cars now. It's not like the drug dealing times of the late 80's or 90's.

Thanks for the suggestions, but things (cops and attitudes) are a little behind the times here in Alabama.

not on 20's, but here's a recent pic of my UCF31 w/ 19's on super-low mode.
Whenever I get some time, I'll be adding the YouZealand SS-kit as well.
