Question **All DDC Wheels?**

Hey gang, I have a guy who wants to buy my 20's in the near future and I need to start really deciding on what wheels I want to get. In 20's and must be in CHROME . I have my mind set on ONLY DDC wheel designs. I find this kind of design very elegant and has a lot of bling to it. I know alot of you don't like chrome but I just can't see myself purchasing anything besides chrome wheels. The only wheels that I can think of that has DDC is

1) L-Sportline Model 1 Evo
2) AutoCouture Indicator
3) Work Equip
4) Lowenhart BSD
5) Work Rezax II
6) Bersaglio Wheels

I will have roughly up to $5500 for wheels only, I think I can pretty much get any wheel out there for the GS with this price? I don't have time now to post pics but I think most of you on here knows how these wheels look like. I am really leaning toward the L-sport Model 1 Evo's because after seeing pictures of this wheel on members cars, I was like WOW. I usually don't like mesh wheels but the Rezax II really caught my attention as well.

1) Can any please post other DDC wheels that I have missed?

2) Also, from what I read on here DDC usually have less of a lip that regular rims/reversed lips? If so, what wheel offers the biggest lip with DDC design? I believe the EVO's have 2.75" lip on 20x10?

D-man..

most of the DDC wheels are made by WORK of japan..no matter which brand...of the list, my fav would be the Work Equip due to its lighter wt. forged construction..adn i like simpler design wheel..the 2nd one would be either AC, or Bersaglio line(just to be different)..esp the Bersaglio wheel

yes, your budget is fine for DDC wheels; and i suggest 20x9+10s

i will try to get you the info on the lip depth later today

GS4Will, how much of a price difference is there from Bersaglio to lowenharts? I know its the same wheel with a different label, but that center cap from Bersaglio is awesome. On their website the gold rivets with the gold label looks real nice even though I am not a big fan of gold. This wheel is offered in 20's but lowenhart only offers it in 19's? I see that Bersaglio offer many different width sizes, is it possible to go 20x10.5 on a GS with no rubbing?

D-man...most DDC wheels have ~the same lip depth..minor difference..~5mm

the price between Bersagllio and Lowenhart is ~the same..BUT, to be unique, eps with the $$$ that you plan to spend..get the Bersaglio..10.5 most likely..highly possible..will create rubbing

Bersaglio dish and AC would be top choice

My choice would be the Equips. Muscular and classy at the same time. No split spoke or delicate lines down them. Just all badass business

The autocouture and equips are very very nice wheels, though I am still leaning toward the l-sportlines. The l-sport to me has just enough 'flare' in the design and looking at other cl members who has them just increases my decision. The past few days I been going crazy on the web looking for other wheel designs. THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY WHEELS OUT THERE THAT LOOKS GOOD . I still got some time left to make a decision.............

It’s nice to see some wheels choices with taste!

You have an excellent line up of wheels here. I have always been a DDC fan, the AC’s really hit home with me.

Thanks, though there are TOO many choices. I was looking at Fabulous(sp?) wheels today and they have some awesome rims as well, not DDC wheels but nice designs with DEEP lip. By looking at those wheels, now I am even more undecisive. Figured I have a budget where I can get any wheel I want for the GS, and there is just too many to choose from. Do you have any other favorites?
