Question Any Experience with SACCHI Wheels???

Anybody have any experience with this brand wheel? They are VERY cheap in price and I'm concerned about its quality. However, I'm looking for a mesh wheel of this Color-Scheme... I wish they made the Rota Formel in a Royal Black... as that would be my first option. Any one have any info on a good priced wheel that looks like this? or similar... Must be black with machined lip. Thanks in advance for any leads or info!

Btw, i'm looking for 17x7.5 min... I'd like an 8 inch wheel, but looking at Rotas, nothing is offered with that color scheme in that width. The torque's look great, but no machined lip. Let me know if you know of other brands or styles... I've been searching but have been coming up empty handed. This Sacchi wheel is as close to perfect as I can find (style wise)

Those wheels only come in 17x7's so isn't going to work for you anyways. Looking at their website and other wheels, they look like more style than substance.

Yeah, you're right. I'm really digging wheels with offsets in the low 40's. They come closer to flush with the fenders. Anyone know of similar styled wheels in a 17x8.0 fitment?

Thanks, I appreciate that... I hadnt really considered it from a technical aspect, but you're absolutely right...

Now to find a black with machined lip 17x8.0 Rota wheel damn its tough...

+++NOTE TO ROTA+++
PLEASE MAKE SOME MORE ROTAS IN 8.0 It's probably in the future, but consider us who love our rims with machined lips!

How about these:



I'm not sure if they make these ones in our offset or what width they come in.

NICE FIND Thats a Gorgeous wheel! With a little research I actually found them on tirerack @ about 180, so they fit my budget, BUT... tirerack shows them as only a 7 inch width That's disappointing news... I'm gonna look further into this and see if they make other widths in the 17...

Again, NICE FIND... keep em coming if anyone else knows of any suggestions
