they are a bad knock-off, they are trying to be F40 wheels and failing hard.

LOL at the talk of them being knock-offs.
They're throwbacks done in honor, not cheap alternatives to the OEMs.
“These designs take us all back to the ‘70’s and ‘80’s when we were kids falling in love with exotics for the first time and truly becoming car lovers. Capturing all the character and magic of these designs, while ensuring they fit modern super cars and met our current engineering standards, made the project tougher than simply creating replicas of the original cast wheels. We found inspiration in those original designs but created wheels that reflect the HRE of today; wheels that are truly inspired.”

I called them knock-offs because they look cheap and ugly. :P

Was in South Beach last week, pretty sure the GT3 I've seen before down there.
The LOCAL MOTORS car was pretty cool.
My brother has premiere status with Avis so he reserved me a 740 to drive down there. That was great to have although having a nice BMW in Miami Beach is kinda overkill, latest iDrive works pretty well but the BMW nav still needs better GUI. None the less, a 740 has incredible performance for a car of it's type.
The story behind "LOCAL MOTORS"
http://www.businessweek.com/innovate...028_848755.htm
Excellent build and component quality on the LOCAL MOTORS rally car.
My sister in law got a new Explorer Sport, also pretty cool tech and Ford has come a long way in the past decade.

Welcome to South Beach. Be very careful with Beach police. Quick to shoot (seriously). They just tased and killed a 14 year old kid that was running away. Plus lots of DUI checkpoints. Honestly I try to avoid that area.

My brother has lived in South Beach for past 4 years, but he also spent 20+ years living in Manhattan so he's used to aggressive LEO's.
Overall I like the area besides all the exotic cars there's a cool vib, some great sights on the beach, and warm clear water.

I agree on both counts. I've worked in South Beach for 5 years. Even got pulled over with about 10 uniforms and detectives asking me question because I had a car that "matched a description". I didn't bat an eyelash because I was respectful to them as they were to me. I have family and friends that are LEO's so definitely not a cop basher. Just warning him is all since I don't know him and some people have tempers.

By mistake my oldest daughter was down there for urban beach weekend with some college friends for R&R. Kinda crazy in the mid-town section but fortunately quiet in the south end.
