Lorinser and the other tuners don't make their own wheels. They contract production to a big wheel manufacturer such as Ronal. The only difference is the Lorinser name and price is not on the other wheel.

I think that the LM5 wheels will look great on your car.

It's true about many tuner parts, find the source and save big (pulleys, wheel, air filters, exhausts, etc.). I like the look better when it doesn't have the tuners name on it.
