here are the Diablo Burgini's, sorry if I took too long to put this one up but I had to cut it down to size so it could let me upload it

O and if anyone doesn't think either rim would look good please let me know, thanks

Thumbs down

For real, they are both knock-off companies. They make their living off of cheap imitations of quality wheels. If you buy those, they might banish you from the Wheel forum :eek:

LoL whats so bad with those rims, and what rim are they knockin off right there, I would like to see the "High quality" rims, Personally I could care less what name brand a rim is, if it looks Nice and it gets alot of compliments, then im happy, how is the quality of the rims, do they bend faster then 5k rims? or chip faster? I would like to hear some more of peoples opinions, thanks in advance

well IM trying to find rims for as cheap as I can, but.. if quality starts becoming an issue, like if I buy cheap rims and they mess up faster or dent easier or chip faster then higher quaility rims, then I wouldn't get them, but if all the only difference is just with the name then I could care less about that, like I said I think they look good and for 1300 bucks, I dont think anyone could complain with that price lol, no one has answered another question I have though, does anyone think they would match good with a Silver GS? thanks

the zenetti's are a generic k/o of the lowenhart br5. a friend of mine has a set on his 540i. nice looking wheel, but when you see the "real thing", like on dex's ride, you can definitely tell the difference. i do know that everyone doesnt have 3 or 4 grand to spend on wheels, hell i know i dont. but i wouldnt put crap substitutes on my GS. the problem is, how do you know what crap is?

The Diablos also look like WEDS Kranze Cerbus knock offs. Zenetti makes that same knock off called the Mystik. As far as cheap knock offs, I think Zenetti is better than Diablo. I think the Vegas look much more like the BR5 than the BS5.
