Check this wheel out!

I've been looking for a three piece rim that was somewhat affordable and looks great too. This is a Makaveli Romana three piece. What do you guys think? $1050.00 per rim.

Bad deal.

I'd recommend Zenetti Lucre's. Same style rim, more than half the cost.


$3200 from Superbuywheels.com for an entire set with Pirellis

I'm not sure who is stealing who's designs. But Makaveli and Zenetti have some AWEFULLY close style of wheels. But the Zenettis are half the cost. I ran Zenetti's on my last car. They held up through some nasty potholes...

I run the Continental ContiSportContact 2 265/30ZR22 due to my plans on dropping the car a bit. I figured the 30 series would give me more options. I wouldn't recommend a 30 series tires on a 22" without a strong forged multipiece wheel however. I've hit some nasty potholes with no damage. (crosses fingers)

Rogue,
I love those Zenetti's. They look like a knock-off of the Maya's. Are they a 3 piece wheel? I would like to run a 22/9.5 on 265/35/22 Pirelli or Hankook.

I too looked at them when i was shopping for wheels. I believe they are 2-piece, but don't quote me on it. Call up zenetti and ask first. I was going to have them colormatched cool vanilla.

Don't bother buying the Hankook. Go perelli or not at all. Trust me.

Pirelli it is! Getting the right rims and tires is everything. Rogue, did you have any issues with shake in your steering wheel with the 22's?

[rogue]

Not once. As long as its balanced and mounted properly, you should be cool. Getting an alignment isnt a bad idea once you change them either, but not necessary. I did just in case. The tires are too expensive to ruin because of a bad alignment...

I'm relly glad to hear that. I put 24's on my Escalade and went through three sets of rims until we finally got a set to balance properly. It happend to be a set of forged multi-piece rims.

Yeah, those wheels are stunning! I was about to get the same ones.. here's the post about them.. Zenetti rims?.. anyone?
and i did the research on them and found out that the (22x9.5) weighed in @ 52lbs each wheel with no tires!!! so i was like daym! Then again they look real classy!
