Default New Wheels

New wheel company. The process looks pretty sweet, the price looks good, the weight, dot approval, and strength look to good to be true. What do you guys think.

I'm so close to making the call and ordering a set....

Look great... there was another co Carrozzeria that made affordable wheels. Their problem was the quality of the spacers. Hopefully these wont suffer from that...

Magnesium for the street? I would rather have a metal that bends rather than break, IMO.

Hmm looks like they may not offer the free mag hubs deal after yesterday

Actully they have been testing a wheel for durability and so far so good. I will be calling at lunch time.

Its not a tradional forged mag wheel its tri something... Yeah im not a specifics type of person.

If there warentee is good and they will still honor the free mag upgrade I will be ordering these at lunch also. Now what color??? Im thinking black for the Fat piggy RC.

Dark gray to match the graphics & stand out from all the blackness

Orange would look "toight like a toiger" on the Z... I need another bonus!

Dark grey would look nice with the graphics but not sure how that may look when the track body work goes on....

The RC is going to be a marketing mule for the new adventure....

I have them calling me before they paint them to confirm the color as the picture above he said was not the set colors. I will be going with the gunmetal grey unless its too light of a shade, then I will go black. I have a black RC.
