Question Is MOMO a good wheel brand?

I saw a set of MOMO sport wheels in a glass case at the lexus dealership, and want to know if these are good quality wheels? They looked to be 18in wheels.

They're decent quality wheels but very played out...very 1980's....it's a wheel brand that people who don't know anything about wheels know...

How about Sparco?
I hope Soarer007 doesn't mind my posting his picture here.
But I'm in love with his Sparco Linea rims.

sparco really isn't among the best, and i haven't really heard from them in over 5 years. but hey, if you like them that much, what the heck?

and i kinda have the same image of momo as manaray...remember those ones with the colored spokes? what were those called? the momo arrow got played but their arrow sport is a good look

I think the ones with the colored spokes were called Ferrari F1, or something that had Ferrari in the name! I used to LOVE those wheels, that was when 17s were a big deal!

Momo I.D.E.A were the momo with spokes that you could paint to match your car, you could take them off and put other spoke things on. I had a set in 15in back in the day man i was the ****.

NO, there were two styles of wheel!! One was a five spoke that you could change the small little plastic caps at the end of the spoke, then they introduced a newer one that a color center cap that extended partway up the 5 split spoke!!!

I know MOMO used the Ferrari name for ONE of their wheels (which I dont know )
