It's a brand/line of wheels called Aristo. They're very rare since they've been discontinued, so I've only seen or heard of 2 other sets of them on G's and Z's. They were purchased directly from DPE.

Weather has been horrible lately, so I haven't even washed the car in a month! Hopefully it clears up next week so I can get some shots.

The weather finally cleared up, so I was finally able to wash the car and get a few shots. Nothing fancy, though. Just a point 'n shoot, no tripod, no editing. Here you go

Here are some more shots that show the Labia. 3.5" front lip and 4.5" rear lip. Between the machined face and the chrome lips, these things really shine!

Those are nice.

Haven't been following up, but the Aristos were DPE prototypes awhile back and were apparently were supposed to be their new line. Not sure what happened with that.

DPE actually discontinued them, and sold off their remaining sets, so I managed to snag one of the last few they had over at their facility.

Looks really good on your car. you have to wear sun glasses just to look at those wheels. Nice pick.

I never knew about that whole Aristos thing, but now I know

the big tires aren't doing the wheels any justice IMO

Well, it just depends. If you don't have to run super stretched tires to make the wheels fit, why not run relatively wider rubber for more traction?

The wheels look good on your car. Not sure many other cars can pull off that look but yours does it well.
