My Ride: 08 550 Carbon Sport Almost everything factory, but no sound upgrades.
Is it an illusion or is the spoke configuration not symmetric?
Appearance on one side of the car is different than on the other. No good IMO.
But many wheels are intended to be non-symmetric, I just don't like it.
Otherwise good looking wheels.

I just found those wheels while I was surfing the web. Its a new company. 
Did you want to be the first to get a set and give us feedback on these wheels? if so, I can call them on Monday for you.

The spokes are also angled.
I like that bronzish finish. I had ordered my wheels with brushed titanium which is supposed to look similar to this finish but it was delivered with the standard brushed aluminum. Oh well...

Your not the only one.
I think the finish is sort of cool. Just the design is sort of iffy.
