Zinik Brescia Wheels

I've seen a lot of people posting on this site about either having these rims or ordering them. I am trying to decide b/t these and the TIS 01s but have a couple of questions.

First, with the Ziniks being 15mm offset compared to 18mm, do they stick out a little bit?

Also, could someone please take a close up pic of the lip? I can't tell if the actuall spoke continues into the lip, or if it's just the reflection in the pic.

Thanks in advance for all of your help.

NO offense but with the 100's and 100's of wheel manufacturers why dont you pick a wheel that is not displayed on every car magazine from DUB to PLUSH.IM starting to wonder is TIS paying all you guys to overexpose these wheels?

Look, I'm going to do/buy what I like. People say, "Everyone has those rims." Well, everyone is also riding stock 18s. I realize that a lot of people have the TIS wheels, and if that botherd me one single bit, then I wouldn't consider them.

How about they make good wheels, that flow with the car and marketed towards the car so thats why alot of people have them.

Millions of people use AA batteries but I dont go damint im going to buy AAA and put some foil on them to make them fit. If something is made towards the car for the car, and yes I know they have different fitaments, then why not just go with them if you like them...

just for the record, i do agree with you john in that being different and personalizing you car is what i would go after. myself am not super fond of the tis wheels but do think they flow with the car well..

Trust me, If I could afford a wheel like Asanti, I would probably go with those or some Cartellis, but unfortunately I can't afford 1K per rim. Plus, choosing a rim that less than 1% of 300 owners own isn't so bad.

In the next week I should have my 20" Zinik Brescia's, I'll photo them and also include a shot of the lip.

I can tell you that I didn't make the decision lightly when it came to these rims.

I could have bought cheaper ones, ones that were heavier, ones that were lighter, at the end of the day it comes down to personal taste, there isn't a right or wrong.

Mike, are you going with 20's or 22's. Which tire are you going with.
05hemiC, what tires are you going with. I got TIS 01 with the toyo 255/45/20's and think the setup is great. I thought I was going to have to lower it but it looks great the way it is and the ride is the same, even with "truck/suv" wheels.
