I'll have some images next week of the ZLT series wheels on a few cars and a few of the new black label models. These wheels were just unveiled at SEMA so production is still underway for some of them.

I'm very happy to see these high end wheel companies coming out with 1 piece wheels. The multipiece-monster lip craze lasted long enough. There's so much peer pressure to get one of those high dollar sets that some people felt they had to have them. Now that companies like HRE, iForged and now AC are making 1 piece wheels, other brands will benefit from this too. It will be the "in thing" to have.

i like aristo and victory the best

Well I think the important thing to remember with that point, is the contruction type. If its still forged, its still pricey. iFORGED 1pc forged and 2pc forged cost the same thing, HRE 1pc forged is still almost twice the price of iFORGED, etc etc. AUTO-COUTURE took a different approach and went 1pc CAST, which does bring the price point down considerably. The BlueLabel is going start with 21x9 / 21x10.5 and I'd expect cost with Pirelli tires to still be well below 4k out the door.

As far as the mega lip thing goes, your right, I was hoping a company would step out and start doing the no lip look again, the dynamic, agile appearance of a wheel with no lip can no be denied. All things must go full circle (no pun intended), and for every 7 or 8" lip wheel being touted, there needs to be a alternative wheel with a more sporty, lithe appearance offered!

Same here, I'm personally feeling the Victory the most from the Black Label, and the Tempest / Dynasty from the ZLT.
