    That's sharp right there. I can see that with the wine red. Would it be too flashy?

    About $80 each US, but ignoring the price, they really catch my eye.

    I think they're just subdued enough with the wine red to complement each other. I can always try them on my Thunder Gray car.

    I just spent 5 minutes surfing the web and I can't find the weight of this wheel listed anywhere. Be careful because some aftermarket wheel companies seem to go out of their way to hide a wheel's weight if it's not a positive characteristic of the wheel. I'm not saying that's the case here...but be aware of that.

    We have a wine red and a black. Those would look cool on black but wine red would be a little much for me personally

    Thanks, if the vendor can't tell me the weight I could order just one and weigh it before making a final decision.

    Don't bother. It's an unheard of brand. Will likely be quite heavy and of unknown quality.

    Probably the best deal on a nice looking, name brand, lightweight 15x6.5 is the Konig Helium:

    Available in silver, black or bronze. I have a silver set on my Mirage.
    Simplify and add lightness.
