Default Anyone heard of Zegado 3 piece Wheels?

I found a local GS3 owner selling a set of 20" chrome 3 Piece Zegado Ezio with Michelin Pilot Sports for $2500. I did a search and didn't find much on it. I also ran a search on clublexus and found nothing. They are in mint condition and look awesome on his GS 430 but really skeptical as I've never heard of them before .

Here is a link to the manufactures website:

Nope never heard of them but thats a good price for 3 piece wheels. They look nice, but you never know about there performance.

never heard of them but thats a good looking wheel

theres a bunch of forged/multi piece wheel companies out there now that nobodys ever heard of.....doesnt mean their wheels are any less quality...at the same time id be nervous about spending that much money with a company that has no rep too

post pics if you decide to pull the trigger

Go for it, you never know until you try it. Not sure about chrome though, only time id ever even consider chrome is on a black car, in an exceptional wheel design of course


Good to know theres another local GS owner Have I met you before?

Never heard of the brand. Wheels and that GS look good. Seems to have a HRE pattern

I called around some wheel shops in So Cal and they said they went under earlier this year. The guys selling it actually works for a rim shop here in vegas and they are on his GS3. He said they were custom made for a GS3 so with his drop he has no rubbing with 285/30. I'll be going by to check them out in person. I'm not digging the center caps. Its like he just put a sticker on there.

yeah very good guy. i pulled the trigger and bought the rims. I'm not into the chrome either but i figure i'll get this over with for now since i'm not even sure how long i'll keep this car. I've seen a lot of chrome wheels but this is some high quality stuff.

While he was putting the rims on ay-nako passed by with his sick LS.

Now I have to find a place to shave/cut my fenders so I can be low like you and tommy! Take advantage of these BC coil overs.
