What do you'all think of Zenetti Wheels.

I know they are not the most expensive but they seem like a nice looking wheel that is priced right.

Your opinions please.


What do you'll think of the Zenetti Mystik Wheel in 19x8.5 in Silver. It has about a 2" lip.

thanks.

Thumbs up I Like Mine!

Ted - While they're not HRE's, I have the 18x8.5 Zenetti Vegas in chrome & like them alot. Kinda heavy thought, but that's more a byproduct of the chrome than the wheel. BTW - my wife nailed a curb so hard that she punctured the sidewall on one of the Nittos but DID NOT bend the wheel itself so thay testifies to their strength ( for a 1 piece wheel ).

Lightbulb my thoughts

zenettis

quality, i am uncertain?

pricing, attractive and aggressive

would i buy them, no.

my philosophy on wheels is that for rides like gs, i would save that extra $500-$1000 and get something i really like and believe in such as volks, yoko(advan), bridgestones, l/h, work and several other japanese BRAND names. if they are not expensive, even better. manaray(the wheel brand) has a new model came out that costs less than $2000 for 18" with tires.

no offense to brands of wheels that are popular among other people. if i save an extra $20/week, in a year i would be able to get $1000 worth of something more that is truly amazing and many times originals for the gs. may be i read toooo many japanese tuner magazines and got"brain washed".

do you like them? are they within your budget? if yes, it is your pleasure.

hey Ted.. still haven't decided yet?? i would get some racing harts, hre, hartge, volk racing, or something to that extent...if money is an issue.. you could always get some konigs .... or something along that line...

or you could drop down to some 18s..and get the good stuff...

oh yeah.. my email has been down, so i cant access your email addy to send you the links to the pics.. but then again, you probably already have those links from IS300.net. i have 3 other friends who took pics, one of them took really bad quality pics...the other hasn't put them on to CD, and the last doesn't know how to upload the pics on to his computer...

hows the video comin along?? did u make me a copy??

get in touch.. dan

Mean Gene:

You need to put your car in the "Member Rides" section. That is one "mean" looking GS.... You must be very proud!!!!

Cool Sold the SC & bought a GS400, just installed 20x8.5's / 20x10's "Heirs"

I recently bought a GS400 & decided I wanted show only so I went with the solid chrome Heirs that had just came out. I know 99% of the people on here wont like them because they're so heavy but If I had to choose again Id pick the same wheels

20x8.5 & 20x10

I have 18" Zenetti Mystiks on my 97 ES and I love them. They are very good for the money and when I lost one of my center caps, I called Zenetti and they sent me one for free.

It all depends on what your looking for in a wheel. I used to own a set of zenetti mystic 19x8.5 back in the day and I can't say I ever had a problem. In all honesty most of these one piece wheels are made at the same places and alot of these wheel companies just put their logo on them.
The difference is Zenetti may not offer as many choices in fitments for your car. Feel free to email me for more wheel choices stefan@d2autosport.com

I would prefer to go with a wheel like this though Ted, clean design, luxury, chrome lip.
Sevas S-star 19x8.5 or staggered with a 9.5 rear but same price range.


Non staggered 19x8.5 2.5" chrome lip
