Don't want to hijack but, what is it about the quality of Privat Netz that has people talking? Do they bend easily or something?

The Netz do look VERY good on this car (see my avatar and do a search on threads where I have posted for a lot of others with them). As far as quality.... they seem well built but they also seem to bend easily. I have the 19's with 35 sidewall and have two minor bends in mine and the roads around here are typically good. I don't remember hitting any holes but my wife said she hit a pot hole which may have caused it. Since I wasn't with her, I have no idea how hard or big the pot hole was. I think they can be bent back pretty easily though. If I had the extra cash, I'd sell them on here and get some of the Maya STM's which is what I really wanted in the first place but for $175/wheel (or whatever they go for now), they are an inexpensive way to get that $3K look on this car.
In hindsight, I would probably go with the equivalent Ruff Racing rims I was considering at that same time (similar price to the netz)

Thanks for the excellent, real world, perspective on these wheels. You seem to be saying the same thing that I've been reading elsewhere. They DO look good but they seem to be soft. The search continues.....
