Looks like Dronel wheels
autocouture magnifique
dronells have more spokes and look thinner and longer. I think they are magnifiques, unless they are some other wheel by another company.

Many companies like iForged, DTM, J-Line, etc outsource the components to other manufacturers. There are a handful of companies that make the hoops for many of the wheel companies. Even JP outsource wheels to Riverside and OZ. Oh, many Autocouture wheels are actually made by Modular Society in Texas.

I once guessed that Modular Society and Auto Couture had something to do with each other. There is a place called JR's in Irving TX, he came by the dealership once handing out brochures on Modular society wheels and had a bunch of Autocouture models on there.
Interesting. Can you purchase them through Modular?
They do appear to be the Magnifique- the picture isn't clear enough for me to say with 100% certainty. If they are the forged version of the AutoCouture Magnifique, they are made here in the USA exclusively by Modular Society. Modular Society is wholesale only, but you can buy them through a place like Wheel Experts. [url]http://www.modularsociety.com/[/url] [url]http://www.wheelexperts.com/[/url]

[/quote] I got to know the sales and marketing VP and as mentioned, they only manufacture the wheels as an OE....then they get labeled. I can get them directly, but the discount structure may not be as good as a high volume reseller.
They look like my wheels... ;) Auto Couture Magnifique. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v245/TYPEII/MySpace/LexusSideSm.jpg[/img]
