Neez will make custom magnesium wheels to your design.

I checked out that website.... Zoinks! when you convert Yen to USD it works out to $2300 per 18 inch wheel and that is using one of their stock designs. I know mangesium is lighter stronger but wow.
Does anyone have first hand knowledge of this company, or know of anyone who has. Would be scary sending almmost $10k through the ether to a foreign company

91 Yen to the dollar hurts.... That website doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling, looks like it was designed by the All Your Base Are Belong To Us guy 
(But thank you Dennis for pointing it out, proving that one can get get full-on customs done. Especially in Magnesium!)

I had a set of 18" Mille Miglia Cup 2's. They sucked. Usually w/ wheels the saying is: strong, light, cheap - pick two. Well, the Cup 2's were initially cheap but they weren't strong or light. Then I spent $$$ repeatedly straightening them so they weren't all that cheap. I think they were made of lead. Avoid...
You guys really know how to kill a dream, don'tcha?
Alright, alright, I hear you. I also know of a local guy who had one of his crack, and I know of one other set with issues. With all this evidence, it's probably best that I steer clear of the Mille Miglia replicas and stick with OEM Cup II 17's.
