Hi Yaroslav,

I can't say if they are better or worse. We use titanium fasteners, 60/60-t6 aluminum and our rim halves are made in the usa, full forged 60/60 - t6 as well. We balance the wheels with a max of 10 thousandths for run out, which means they are almost perfectly round, and will not shake unless the tire is not set up right. And the center bores are honed specifically to each vehicle, which means no centering rings are necessary.

It's pretty much as good as technology will allow right now. I'm sure Vellano wheels are good quality also, they look very nice.

Your wheels will leave by Tuesday, they look awesome!

This maybe the best powder-coating job I've seen yet

i don't know how they do color matching with rims but i'm somewhat familiar with the capabilities of power coating and don't believe you can get anywhere close to that kind of color match without using regular paint....

cls63, nice z06 and color combination.

LOL, sorry, I meant powder-coating

I don't know how they did it exactly, maybe they did use regular paint first, but whatever they did, they've done one of the finest paint-jobs I've seen....

They're actually painted with a PPG color matched paint, and then we add a clear powder coat. It's very strong and durable, we do it on all our painted lips.
