Seems like a rip off to me since this wheel is damn near a replica of the Katana Balajeos. And a few other companies also have this replica design. The Katana's are only like $1200 a set in chrome

Still too much. With the Katana's chromed, you can do it for far less than $2000

Katana Destiny with Tires at wheelmax.com is $1850. These look very similar to the Giovanni's

Omni Avalanch also looks highly similar. 18s with tires at WheelMax.com is only $1400.

Giovanna's are a higher quality wheel, and alone with Lowenhart, which are my favorites, share the title of heaviest wheels !
18's Chrome will tip in at over 40 lbs per wheel.

i was looking at both the giovanna and katana rims, i ended up getting none due to price pf michelin 18" tires, but hey man, if u got the $, go with giovanna, ull be a balla in my book. or take the katanas and get some michelins.

Why you NEED to get Michelins?

Nittos, Falkens, Kumhos they are good tires.
