mondello is 18x8

I need some opinions. price is not a concern. its all about the looks. help me pick.

thx for any opinions

I have AZA Z-8's and have no complaints. Guess I am partial. If you decide to go with AZA, you will most likely need a set of hug centric rings (assuming the Z-2's have the same hub diameter as the Z-8's).

On a non-partial vote, I do like the mondellos. The kyalami may prove to be very tedious when it comes time to clean them.

#3 Most Def!!!

Man I am in the same boat as you. It's a lot of cash, and it's not to fun when you realize you picked the wrong ones. In one aspect, it is good there are so many to choose from. But when it comes down to getting them it's overwhelming. Research, research, research.

Make sure you check the offset of those TSWs. If I recall correctly, TSW doesn't have anything lower than +40. Plan to get your fenders rolled.

mazda6guy · 04-24-2005, 10:57 PM

If you are going to get your fenders rolled let me know. I am in Cranston and I'd be interested in finding a place that does it in RI.

My vote is on #3, although $2K is a bit steep, especially for RI roads where you will most likley need a replacement at some point IMO.

leftyrev · 04-24-2005, 11:08 PM

if your gonna trust the +40 offset i would go with the mondellos , i was gonna get those before i decided not to get chrome

GreenNuggs · 04-25-2005, 10:35 AM
