I'm not sure if any of you have heard of them, but after checking out their website they have several celebrity endorsers as well as a pro skate team (which includes a few of my fav skaters haha). I think these wheels are not only much more attractive than the other ones I posted, but definitely look like they're of higher quality.

Here's a link to the wheels http://www.zenetti.com/html/2007/ind...eelID=7&carID=

After looking around a bit more I did realize that these wheels in particular aren't forged, although the company does make forged wheels... just not this series. So what do you all think? If you want to see them on a C-class they even have a little "virtual garage" app that lets you do that without all the photoshop hassle.

Edit: If THIS doesn't scream quality, I don't know what does.

For the record, the few mods that I have done have come out of my own pocket.

But, I don't see why it would hurt because like I said, the few mods that I have done have been done with my money.

If not, I wasn't. There was nothing negative implied, except that you don't always have a choice about how much you can afford to spend on wheels when you're not the only one making decisions about how much to spend. Now shut the hell up and stop post-stalking me.

And about them being ugly... that's completely subjective which makes it irrelevant to me.

Now that I see the price you found them for, that's probably the 1 piece cast versions. The $300 per rim would make sense.

I didn't add the "ugly" part. That was Blake quoting me and adding the ugly. I think they're okay, actually. Not my style, but that's all on each individual.

Yea, like I said, they do make forged, however not in that style. After searching the forum some, I see many people have had problems with the chrome peeling off, so despite the hot girl showing her ***, maybe they aren't so quality.

And I saw he added the ugly part not you, it didn't strike me as something you'd say. Like I said, it's just his opinion and he can have it, but I still think those wheels would look pretty nice. Well anyways, thanks for the help everyone, I'll take all of your advice into consideration and hopefully will come out of it with some nice looking/quality wheels (even if they don't cost me an arm and a leg).
