well, they do a good job of copying good designs, and then blinging them way too much. not my cup of tea.

The company owner ruined a nice 964 by following the current "stanced" fad. Which just means he took a great car and made it ride terribly, handle terribly, and totally impractical.

I'm pretty meh on the wheels, I've seen far nicer looking custom Fuchs.

At $1,000 per wheel, what makes this better than all the other Fuchs or Fuch look-a-likes?

What manner of trailer trash would do that to a 964?

I like their rendition of the Fuchs with the three piece design and exposed fasteners...that is a classic, timeless look and design.

$1000 per wheel for something completely custom that is three piece is cheap. I paid quite a bit more for my HREs.
