I was all happy about my decision on two rather inexpensive sets of wheels to choose from...

Damn you Tony...
Tony is right. I just PM'ed Brian (6speed) on M5Board and asked him what he wants for his wheels. I bought my exhaust and race cats from him. Not only were they shipped immediately, but I hadn't sent him a payment yet and he still sent me both items!!! Talk about trust. His shipping is also outstanding. He had the boxes filled with liquid styrafoam so that the parts were literally locked into place. Not sure who he knows to do this, but it was top notch.

Get the Neez wheels. They would look AMAZING on your car. AMAZING!!!!

You can't go wrong on both wheels, Breyton's are more aggressive IMO!

You PM-ed Brian too? LOL! I already got a reply back from him and PM-ed Tom with the info.

And yeah, his packaging is awesome. I think he uses the shop that does work on his car to ship them; VR Performance.

Man, now I'm tempted to get these wheels for myself. Who wants my Mesh Eight w/tires for $4500?

Brian is the best. I asked what else he has for sale. You should have seen my race cats when I got them. They literally looked brand new. There was no sign of them being exposed to the elements under a car. I asked him if he had actually installed them. That's how new they looked. He's a great guy.

OK FUGS...get the Neez wheels. Your decision has been made.

Ugh,

We shall see

If these 2 wheels do come back into play though, the hard part for me is that I like the bend on the Breyton's much better than the V710's, but I don't like that the Breyton's are semi gloss black. Wish they were matte....

But as a few people said, not much difference between them. may just come down to price and VMR's win there. Plus they are a bit lighter than the Breytons

(25lbs not too bad for a cast wheel)

But I am really thinking about these Neez...waiting for a few specs....

Either one looks great, you can't go wrong.
Do either wheels require hub-rings or spacers?

Those Neez are hot; I like how the spokes concave
to the center of the wheel.
