I noticed that you are interested in the Zenetti Mystik wheels ( nice!!).

I actually ordered them (192) and got a phenomenal price but later found out from Sergio @ Zenetti in Cali that they will not fit on a GS. The offset is incorrect.

They have tested them on GS and found that due to the way the wheel is designed and the way the spokes bend in, they will not clear our stock brake calipers which are quite big.

I enede up canceling my order and buying 19" AT Italia imported wheels. They are 2 piece with a 2.25" inch high polish stainless steel lip. Really nice and sporty look.

I got a sponsorship discount on the package from Tire Rack, so they made it worth my while!!

Just thought this info on the Zenettis would help.

Peace.

Ted

Ted920,

What is a sponsorship discount and how do you get one?

a sponsorship is very difficult to get and your car has to have areally nice look.

I submitted a multi-page proposal, highlighting what I've done and will do, the many shows I will attend and how I will help to promote the tire rack brand.

you really have to sell them on your merits and what you can do for them.

they do not normally give discounts, so i can tell you its really hard to get.

i go to many shows (15-20) so i have the opportunity to show off their product. that helped.

Peace.

Ted,

Damn, I thought it was going to be something easy.

Well, I guess sponsorship is not in the cards for me. Guess I'll just have to fall back on plain ol' negotiating.

Thanks for the info.
