Anyone notice the similarity between the Moda and MKB wheels and the classic Ferrari 5 spokes? If you are going to copy something, Ferrari is probably the best.

mkb is starting to make their own bodykit?...eww
although they have good reputation for tuning AMGs, they sure don't have taste for bodykit nor good looking wheels.

Did you get your wheels ok? I ended up having to pay about 100 bucks for shipping, but I wasn't using them anyway.
I noticed in an old thread that you allready had C7 wheels, why another set?

Harpax, do the Moda's have a lip on the outside for attaching weights? I know a lot of people don't like weights on the outside lip, but I like to have them balanced that way if possible.

No there's no outside lip.

Have you had any trouble balancing them with just the stick on weights?

Ya, those rotors are too small. Wouldn't mind replacing them some day. And getting rid of the extra heat shielding (?) crap and stuff that always rusts.
No trouble with the weights as they are located so that the centrifugal force of the wheel spinning is pushing them down.
Hard for me to find a good way to explain exactly where they are located so I'll just take another pic ;-)
Ok, now that I look at these on the screen they aren't very clear but maybe you can make them out.
The first pic I heald the camera on the inside (car side) of the wheel.
The second one is from the outside:
