Exactly. The SS7 has deeper curves that makes 18s look like 19s, available gunmetallic gray, and a much better price. Quality is not a problem since they're produced by VOLKs, I guess going SS7 has alot more value to it, considering most knock-offs look like Model 7s, not SS7.

Good taste man

Talking i heard my name; the wheels

Manary is in Italy, so i will make my comments..

Yoko Model 7 came out slightly ahead of Versus SS7. like globe said, SS7 has its own interpretation of the "7 spokes" rim. such design makes the SS7, stands out even more than the Model 7 imho, not to mention the 35-40% diff in price. as far as the quality is concerned, RAYS SS7 and the YOKOs are two of the best world wide. if you want to talk about copies, i see them all the time, the MODEL 7 copies i mean. there rea also copies on the SS& now

for the reasonable price of the SS7, real ones from rays, i wonder BIG time the need to go for the imitations? to save a few hundreds and have a safety cloud over my head, just not my style.

as far as the choice between MODEL 7 and SS7, it is personal. i like the SS7 for its higher degree of aggressiveness.

Default Zenetti

What type of brand is Zenetti? I have seen many post on this board from members who have Zenetti and like them. From the last few posts about Manaray looking for Zenetti what does that mean?

Thanks

Thumbs up zenetti

Zenetti is a great brand. They offer great looks, with great quality. They are not the best for racing wheels but who races anyways. These are excellent wheels. I have the vegas and they are great.
