Not a fan.

The last ones are the techno wheels though.

I didnt really care for them but last week saw a set in black on a red C4. They looked really good in person.

I remember when they were introduced, the salesman explained at length how the spokes were specifically shaped to expel air from the brakes.

He did not like it when I asked how come the wheels on the other side turn the other way...
Only MB with the Mclaren SLR made the effort of building a left and right sided turbine Wheel.
