I noticed how underwhelming it looked from all angles. Even saw one in person this past weekend, still wasn't impressed. It's credentials are great; it's looks don't do it for me.

Aren't HRE and iForged made here too? I'd rock either of those over some of the wack JDM designs i've seen. It never really bothered me where things were made as manufacturing and production has pretty strict regulations on either end of the world (except China...yuck 
)

From what I heard, there are components of the wheels that have started being made in China. I knew someone who was going to purchase them, and then backed off when he found out this information. If I'm paying HRE prices for wheels, I better have nothing made in China on them.

Someday, an RS6 Avant+
nice...Maybe a touch more rubber sidewall. Other than that, looks nice.
is it me, or does the R8 need a body colored insert instead of the black/CF one?

I've felt that way before about products too. If it's some item that's retardedly more expensive than average it definitely rubs me the wrong way if it was manufactured in some third world country. You almost feel like that company is pulling a fast one on you or something even if the quality appears to be there. ("Aha! you buy Chinese made garbage at hand made Italian price!")
We actually do Carbon Fiber in house as well, so if theres any local Miami guys that want to pass by, come on through! 
Then you'll get to see this bad boy in person:http://videos.streetfire.net/video/3...430_381062.htm
Enjoy the pics guys!

Car is HAWT. Wheels are HAWT. Photo shoot is great. Happy to hear the wheels are 
but it wouldn't matter to me where they're made as long as the quality is there.
