We based the design from the Turismo (which have a very slight concave) but added a good amount of concavity without sacrificing structural stability, the once we debut at SEMA are the first one and have started taking orders in for all application and custom offset...once you see these you will notice the difference between the two

Interesting. The Turismo I saw at Sleek Motoring looks exactly the same, concave-wise (aside from the finish), but just withouth the MFest tag. Then again, I'm sure my eyes can't differentiate between several degrees of concavity by looking just at pictures. haha

Nice wheels. I love the liquid cinder finish they have. I almost picked them up but wanted something lighter.

What are the weights of these wheels? Brandon estimated 20s to be in the 25lb range but they didn't have any wheels in M5 fitment at that time to give me a true measurement.

Around 25 lbs iirc, These are 3 piece forged wheels and we'll have MFEST X Neez Wheels 1 piece forged, again spec'd for MFEST coming aswell for people who wants some lighter wheels...You will see the complete line up and will be tested at the track for MFEST IV in April (Las Vegas NV)...


Just a quick note: Were not making wheels but merely collaborating with the wheel companies (which were lucky and honored to to have) that can cater to our needs and according to our spec's

Another reason for you to get rid of your current Neez.
