Default Does anyone have experience with Zenetti wheels?

I was literally picking up the phone to buy some Zone 3 wheels when I ran into the Zenetti Fives. The look great but at that price point for some 18 inch wheels, I'm feeling a little leery.

Does anyone have any feedback as far as the quality of these wheels and/or have you used them?

I have a set on my SC. I got them about 5yrs ago. These wheels are low end as far as quality is concerned. No problems tho. Do a search.. There are a few threads in the SC forum. GL

Well, after a pretty exhaustive search I 'm tending to think the Zone 3 wheels are the better choice. 3 hours of reading and too many situations where people either had problems with their wheels or mentioned that the quality was poor. For those of you have them and don't have any problems, more power to you. They're sharp and come at a great price point.

I've got a chrome staggered set of Zenetti 5's for sale. 19x8 & 19x9.5 that I'm looking to get about a $1,000 or best offer for. Used for less than a year.

Had 19" Chrome Zenetti's on my accord back in the days and never had any peeling on them..

I think the general speak with Zenetti's is the choming process being a little less than ideal, that's really why I thought the black/chrome lip might be better.

If you don't mind me asking, why are you getting rid of these wheels?

I'm on a change year to year thing right now. They were two sets ago and are now just sitting in the garage. No other reason at all.
