Default Opinions on this "Moda" wheel please

What do you guys think of this wheel?
I have been looking for an aftermarket 5 spoke style wheel with a decent lip for a while. These are ~ $250 each - don't know the weight yet but comes in perfect sizes/offsets for NB 996.
I've seen some Moda wheels on 928's but not on a 996 - maybe their is a reason?
Thanks

A little on the "blah" side. They don't do much for me.

Agreed..I just saw some on a 996 and they were very forgettable.

They are exact OEM size & offset for Mk1 - not sure about the lip.
Kinesis is a beautiful wheel but I really what a 5 spoke pattern with a decent lip. I want something a little more aggressive instead of "class" or "bling."
I've now decided on fikse profile 5's or TM 5's....hopefully I can find them used.
