The Fx are a bit sporty, but i like them on the Blue previa in Wagonstyle issue /march.
FX are okay (but a bit sporty)... but the gracers look DUB
they're marketing/reaching out to American DUB fans.
bleh...
yes, they look very dub style. nice, but not for me.
First design calls out FORD MUSTANG GT and the other Yells out CHEVY TAHOE DUB STLYE...I dont like either of those for VIP style.
the gracers are wow.
their ok when done right....(pics thanks to original made) [img]http://og-made.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/g35gracer2.jpg[/img] [img]http://og-made.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/g35gracer.jpg[/img] [img]http://og-made.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/217.jpg[/img] to me it seems all of the vip wheels companies are going in the same direction... club linea l368 [img]http://www.crimson-inc.co.jp/linea/img/l368_color02.jpg[/img] fabulous CINQVARIA [img]http://inoplus.inoweb.co.kr/shop/editor/uploads/junk/45f6431dcb6b6.jpg[/img] work ls606 [img]http://lib2.store.yahoo.co.jp/lib/yatoh/ls606-gsp.jpg[/img] there are more but im lazy. i think they look good when done right but its just not my taste.
actually these are very creative designs, suitable for the more recent, modern car designs of today. It's also kinda caters to the bling bang north american market. club linea's interchangeable slots are also cool. It's like having two different style wheels in one kinda like a reversible jacket. You can't really throw these on a boxed out ucf20, ucf10, ucf21, y33, g50.

The lip can be replaced? I wonder what labor would be to do that on a wheel. Would it still be cost efficient as to just getting the lip redone? I understand the finish on the lip of japanese wheels can sometimes not be replicated so this I guess is a good alternative.
u were right,...

[img]http://www.crimson-inc.co.jp/linea/img/louis_p2.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] There several companies doing this. It's been being done for a while now on the US market actually. Japan is starting to do it more often now. My Anceltion DISIX wheels have this technology as well. When I first saw it I thought it was a really great idea. NAD Wheels has been doing it for a while now. For them it enables them to make one piece wheels that "appear" as a multi-piece wheel. While other companies with multi-piece wheels are using them as a way to make buyers feel more at ease with their purchase and the probability that if they scratch it, they don't have to spend a grip to fix it or to buy a new wheel.
