Not a fan personally. There are a lot of companies that make wheels just like these, and to me the spokes look kind of misbalanced.

They look like they weigh 30 lbs. Not ugly though

Ditto that. Plus, a staggered setup increases the car's built-in understeer and prevents you from rotating. That said, the wheels look nice.

Thanks for the input guys. The weight never even crossed my mind.

do some photoshop work and put them on your car. the weight only matters if your trying to go fast. if you just want at clean machine, then it don't even matter. they might be heavy, or made out of junk metal. i personally think they would look better on an e28.

I really really like them, but I'm sure the quality is poor. They are sold under numerous names, inlcuding axis. These are the "penta".

IMO they should remove half of the spokes. I think that would look better and would be lighter too. Then get those new roundels that stay upright no matter how fast you go... The deep dish is very nice indeed.

I saw a video of those new roundels... The guy, on a dyno, took off full blast and they only swayed about 2mm... same when he slammed on the brakes. Forgot where I saw them tho'
