2008 Auto Couture Aristo Wheels
What do you guys think of these wheels? I think the CF lip looks pretty sick, but not my cup of tea. I'm seriously considering the silvers though hopefully with a titanium finish if possible. I think that would go well with pewter.

I'm not sure since I plan to get the silver ones. I'll ask them when they get back to me later on today. But all I know is that these wheels look clean, weigh just over 20 lbs each, and are fairly cheap. $4K per set shipped for 20x10.5 and 20x9. So if they can make them in a darker silver or titanium finish, I'm ordering a set today. 
Only thing is that they don't look much different than the rims I have right now for the most part. But my rims are like 34 lbs each and are only 19s. So they gotta go regardless...

I just got confirmation that the CF is just a paint process and isn't actual carbon so I guess they won't crack or shatter. But I'm probably ordering a set of the silver ones.
And they are available in 20" for $4400 shipped for anyone interested. I believe it's a 2-3 week lead-time...

I am not a big fan of the carbon look wheel as it is my understanding that all CF wheels are immitation. Once you realise their fake the dream is over. Even F1 and INDY cars have alloy wheels.
