i thought the second one is Dronell M05 which goes by 18, 19, and 21''s. what's Mutec???

anywayz Dronell is famous for copycat styling, so I wouldn't be surprised if it is actually from another company = P.

I really like the second one.

enginyr,

To be honest I don't like any of the 3 you posted but if I had to pick between the three I would say #2 but very reluctantly..

Lextacy400,

Couldn't agree more that the style of #3 looks like it would belong nicely on a LX470 or M-Class..


Just my 2 cents take it for what it is worth..

Ken

I think #1 is actually Dronell Type II. The MO5 is a little different. The spokes are not as thick on the MO5 as they are on the type II. www.aktusa.com is a good source. It seems on AKT's website that neither wheel comes in a 20" application. It could be because AKT has not updated its sight since 10/1/01.

To answer your question, If I had to choose between the 3, I like the look of #2, however, I've never heard of or seen the wheel b4. Don't know its quality. Although Dronell is known for "copying" designs, I understand that they are forged and of good quality. I also like the Dronell MO5s. Not that I'm a wheel ghuru like some others on this site though. Just IMO.

Yeaaah I'm the only one who thinks rim 3 looks good =[

I think it would look badass on a GS in 20's.

2 looks the best, but I think it would look better if it didn't have the studs on the edge. Adding the studs to the outside rim makes it look too busy.
