New wheels from Renntech

Here are some pics from a new super light cold forged wheel from Renntech. What do you guys think? Do you like these or the monolites? or both? or neither?

At first glance I thought they were the stock SL500 2003 rims. The seven spoke ones...

Like you said, I need a lip as well.

yeah it has no lip at all.... but its a well made wheel. Don't you think it looks a little like the new 911 wheels? with that square cutout at the end of the spoke?

Very much so, however the Porsche ones look a tad bit rounded.
I wonder how well these wheels are agianst curb rashing. Without the lip, I bet the spokes are a lot more suspectible to damage.
