I have finally found a Japanese aftermarket vendor who knows what they are doing with style and luxury. I've been looking around for a while.. and would usually come across really ricey items that didnt grab my attention like these guys. The only problem is that Auto Couture seems to market towards BMW, Infiniti, Mercedes, and so on.. but not Acura. I was eyeying 2 of the rims they make and trying to figure out if they would look good on an Acura TL 2005, WDP. With all the gallery pictures they have, there has to be something from their line that we could use. This is something I would be proud to have since its very rare in the U.S. and I havent heard too much about them. I did a sample test.. but didnt like the outcome... maybe its the chrome. I borrowed someone's picture to photochop. I put the Kinesis wheels on here and they look a lot better than these... but I really wanted to stay with Japanese just as long as I found the right match.

I have something like those, but they are Dforged

invincible569

WOw, you're right. they are identical. I did a search and found a BMW with those rims and I cant tell the difference.

I saw that you paid $2900 shipped and the Auto Couture's are $4800/set without tires. Thats what I was quoted.

pearl04

Yeah, I got a good deal because someone ordered them and didn't complete the deal. Contact Tire and Wheel Design http://dforged.com/, they are the DF-1's.

pearl, how do you like them and how is the quality? Do you have any daytime pics and is your car dropped? thanks pearl.

pearl04

I loved them, actually they are off of the car for the winter. I am thinking about selling them.....it's time for the TL to go. I can take some pics for you when I get a chance. I got so much attention and compliments with these wheels, I really miss them being on the car. I may have taking them off too soon.

I had to use spacers because I didn't custom order them, the lip is 2" all around. They would work great for an auto. Here are some day pics, not great though.

Thanks Pearl. Is Dforged a new company? I did a search on google and not many people have this brand.

pearl04

Yeah, they're new.
