Very very nice wheel. Look of the simply 5 star with a nice lip. What are your initial feelings on this wheel? Seems to look like a well built wheel.

Must be a hidden stem to avoid it sticking out of the wheel itself. Wheels do look nice!

Damn that wheel looks hot! Not so much the shape... everyone makes a 5star. But the finish and craftsmanship seem excellent from the pictures.

I'm gonna steal these pics and post at is300.net. Thanks.

Just curious what makes this wheel nicer quality than Zauber's? And how can you even tell their quality from a picture, or have you seen both in person? And the only people that are "crying" about the Gettin's are the ones who are WAITING to get theirs.Trust me, the owners of Gettins are always smiling

If you have massive rotors how the hell do you get to the valve stem?

GSTRANCE, those were all excellent questions. When I read that post I was saying the exact same thing to myself!

And you are absolutly correct... smiling is definitly synonymous with Gettin owners!

But that DPE wheel is very nice looking though. The star is a little too plain and straight for my tastes, but I can definitly see it dressing up a car really nice!

Actually I haven't seen these wheels in person. They were forwarded to me from my friend who received these from an authorized DPE dealer.
