Has anyone ever seen these wheels?

Just found these at a local gas station (gas stations in Italy carry Momo, Sparco, Sabelt, Martini Racing, etc.). I thought they were pretty sweet, and I have yet to see anyone with them on their car.

What do you think?

...yeah I'd like to know what the $%^^#& you are talking about too ... momo sucks freeze dried *** for wheels.. sparco has a few decent ones...sabelt...harnesses...martini reminds of old school rally or something..

Personally I think USA wheel makers are the best...
Kinesis
Fikse
Forgeline
you get the idea.

BTW...I wasn't talking exclusively of wheels when I mentioned the other brands. Stop being so critical...damn.

Just wanted to give you and idea of what overall brands a GAS STATION has on hand.

Fill it up please, and can you grab me a couple of Sparco Torinos while your at it.

I guess they have to make up for the shitty gas somehow

Wow, those are definitely hot wheels. I love 5 stars in general. How much did you pay for them? Nice pickup...from a gas station even!

I don't like those wheels at all. spokes are too skinny.

but it's cool that you can get that stuff at a gas station.

I haven't bought them (yet). I can get 4 17X8 rims for about $840.00.

For now, I'm happy with my SSR Integrals. I just thought they were pretty sweet + I hadn't seen them on anyone's car yet. I might get them, I might not.

They have O.Z.s there for pretty cheap as well, I'm thinking of picking up a set of gold Super Leggeras... something light for autoX.

Hey what's the street price on some superleggeras. Pick any size you want, FD with 17,8 and 17,9 would be nice in the standard grey color.

I'd like to compare US prices with theirs as I have OZ's for eurostyle on all our company vehicles.

TIA,

Rishie

For that price, that's a nice frikin' wheel.

I went back today and it seems that they have to call O.Z. direct for an FD. Their catalog only has Euro spec cars in it...all the Mazda wheels they listed were four-lug. He said he'd have an answer for me by Tuesday. I'll post what I find.

Nice pic...I wouldn't bust on your skills because that's alot better than I could do.

Seeing them on an FD makes me want the damn things...thanks alot.

I think I'll stick with my SSR Integrals though so I can keep a 9.5 on the rear.

Mo' traction...mo betta.
