Ewwwwww....It's possible to have too much bling, and these rims show you just how.

FYI, Auto Couture currently makes 3 "lines" (Platinum, Black & Red label) of wheels. Both the Platinum and Black label are all real 3 piece forged wheels.

Bruce,You're still looking for wheels? The Gallardo ones are cool. They look like the second ones. The first ones......... well you know how I feel. I think they inhale big time. Not quality wise of course, but look wise.

Sadly, auto couture over the past year has gone the (smart) route of relabelling wheels made by US-based companies (which doesn't necessarily mean the wheels themselves are actually made in the US though) which are all more along the lines of the "bling bling" and "dub" styles... but I guess ultimately, those wheels offer the largest $$$ margin

Isn't that what the U.S. companies like Giovanna and Asanti do with Japanese wheels. I think alot of these companies take a few styles from other countries and mix their lineup to appeal to everyone... its all about the competition right?
