Wow, don't understand the lack of love for these. There's a guy in my area who has these on his 350z and the car looks hot to me. I don't prefer rivets when the wheels aren't multipiece but these look alright to me. There's a guy with zenetti's on his car and he got more love. That's why I confused, they look similar to these. Go figure.

Exactly! Your car, do what ever pleases you. That is what fixing up a car is about. Personalizing and cutomizing to your taste, not everyone else's.

good luck with your wheels.

reminds me of the zauber gettins. and the zenetti wheels on that white IS looked pretty good, since the styles are similar i think it would look nice. maybe have someone Photoshop it for you?

They're a little more expensive than the zenteei's and a little better quality, too. The guy who lives near me with these wheel....we were at a car wash at the same time when I had my zenetti fives. The kaotics looked like better quality easily. They look really good when the car is moving. Nothing like chrome spokes for maximum effect. Especially when the light hits them. Don't worry about what others say, lots of people around here think a wheel has to be multipiece to be worth anything. You won't regret getting them. One day you may decide to upgrade. In the meantime, these work well imo.

thanks for the input but unfortunately for me..my car shop told me today that these wheels have been discontinued and the only way i would be able to get them is if i can find them on a website somewhere..so i may end up getting the zenettis..i dunno yet..but i sure did like those kaotiks....

Sorry to hear that. In addition to the zenetti's, here's some other similar wheels from TSW. I am thinking har about that TSW Nogaro. It's clean.
