So far he's got an aftermarket wing (not sure what brand it is, he said he had to have it imported) and then he just had a set of custom tailored DPE LS-5 19x8|20x10 mounted on Nitto's 555ZR 235/(F) 275/(R).
I hope you guys enjoy the pictures as much as I did when he sent them to me this morning, they were taken at a golf course out in North Carolina.
I'm not sure how to upload them here onto the forum, so i'll just link it....

My favorite Picture:

Woot! First post

It sucks when these smaller wheel companies try to make wheels for these high end cars, but they end up having to use the wrong size barrels because of availability to them...DPE only produces 2 pc welded wheels with only limited sizes (19x8, 19x10, 20x8.5, 20x10) You have to build wheels with the higher quality 3 pc parts in order have the correct sizes for these high end exotics...
I believe this car should have at least a 295 wide tire on the rear...am I wrong?

Honestly, my friend Peter could have gone with any size width he was even offered a 20x11, but he refused. He wanted to stay conservative, like i said this car doesn't get out much, he just wanted a wheel that complements the car accordingly, meaning as long as the car looks great and nothing sticks outside of the fenders he's set!
DPE can build all the way up to a 15" wide wheel, they can build a 3-pc construction wheel, however, they dont advertise it on their website the dealer that does all their Exotic cars, is able to have DPE build 3pc or custom barrel 2pc.
Oh and Peters car is actually running a 285/ tire, i made a mistake when i first put up the thread.

360/430's should have something equivilent of the factory 12 or 12.5 inch wide wheels and the accomodating tires to go along with them...
I guess if this was my car thats the route i wouldve taken...but its not!!
Just for the record guys, DP Engineering makes great wheels! I almost bought a set of their 22's for my Cayenne before I sold it.

they look nice...but ALL of their wheels are welded 2 pc with glue on/snap in rivets!!
imagine the horror if you thought you were gettting multi pc and finding that out! my friend did the hard way...

However, with the current size set-up I'd not be willing to take the deal and mess up the handling of my high six digit car.
BUT, it looks good and let's face it most people never get anywhere close to noticing the difference between a &ucked up suspension and a well set-up one.

Re: Whats your company's name....
I'll let you know very soon. We just got our wheels back from testing and have moved into our new newport beach headquarters. Our main distributor will be a sponser of this and a few other (e46, mbworld) forums. Are you looking into new wheels?
I built this company www.dcrwheels.com and am now director for my new company. Strictly 3 pc, us made parts only in 19,20 and 22. Are wheels are machined at the same cnc shop as modulare and zone wheels.
Hope this answered some of your question.
