I'm a self proclaimed (budget) wheel whore and I don't care for any of those.

I may be in the market for some more soon, but this time I want to get a true 2 or 3 piece forged.

I was looking at those too. They remind me of the BBS CH wheel. You had to post that car! That car is sick!

Nice lino! I really like the top wheels. They're fantastic. Very classy. Huge too, without looking trashy.

i deal with AutoCouture quite a bit. i've put their wheels on a few different applications, all with good results. the owners of the company produce quality products and stand by them if their are any problems. they have a few lines of new wheels that are really sweet. one of them is their ZLT (Zero Lip Technology) line. the wheel faces extend all the way to the the outer edge of the lip to create the impression of a larger wheel. they incorporate all this under the Modular Society umbrella. the wheels are about par for the course as far as 3piece forged wheels go, coming in at about $1000 per wheel and up depending on size.

Looks too much like automotive jewelry to me, something you would see on a NFL or NBA superstars car....new money, showy looking

When weight, strength, materials, and method of manufacture and testing is not mentioned, one knows they are only poseur wheels, not performance wheels.

Bling for the brainless.
