Love the wheels. Don't let the haters bring you down because they are not overpriced like HREs and Carlssons are. In a day and age where the same wheel factory supplies three different suppliers 3 wheels equivalent in quality but the price is $1500 a wheel different because it says Brabus on it, I could care less what the wheels maker name is. I care more about weight and quality. If you can give me that and it only costs $300 a wheel, all the better. I have had HREs and the only big difference I saw was how light I was in the wallet. If it is not your style, that is one thing, but saying it is bad because it is a Zenetti is just what the big names wants you to think.

Very true comment I'v had all the expensive wheels HRE's on my NSX, Lowenhart's BMW750, Kinesis on the Porsche, Maya's on CLS(selling those right now) and I really got tired of sending the wheels out for repairs due to bends on those 3 piece wheels and I don't get caught up in the name I like style, quality and performance.

Status Quo

I don't believe in leaving any of my cars stock I haven't seen any car from the factory that I would leave stock. Same reason why they make M&M's peanut and plain, options!
