19" Zanetti Fives..Any Good?

Just picked up my 04 coupe yesterday and has 19" chromse Zanetti Five's with Dunlop Direzza's in great condition. I love the tires but the wheels just arent' my style. I had the dealer agree to swap them out for some stock 18's (2 wheels with slight rash) on Pilot HX MXM's and they're gonna do the swap this Thurs. I've never heard of these wheels so I'm not sure if I shoudl go through with the swap or if these are good enough wheels for me to just sell myself and buy some clean OEM's or good aftermarket wheels. Any input is appreciated.

the dealer is screwing you over. sell them on your own and check out the classifieds on the forums for yourself. from what i remember zenettis arent like really cheapo rims where you could get some used 18s in exchange.

Zenetti wheels are heavy, especially the chromes. Depending on the condition and how lucky you are, you might be able to sell them, then buy a used set of OEM and still keep some cash in your jeans. For your reference a new set of those wheels and tires go for about $2200.

It's hard to say how much you could get for them or how long it will take you to sell them. If I were you, I'd take the OEM wheels, be done and start enjoying the car right away.

great input. thanks guys. I think I might go ahead with the swap this Thursday. After looking at the for sale threads it looks like these dont' sell too quick and the price of some clean oem 18 or even 19's would make it a pretty even swap.

Too bad I just can't get some nice Volk Time Attacks

zenetti wheels are pretty expensive...even though its chrome...u can probably sell them on ebay...the money you have can get you some 18 stockies and cash...

I had a set of Zenetti Five's 3 years ago. The chrome started to peel off. Exchanged them for a new set, again problems with the finish. I know others who have had the same problem. That was a few years ago. Maybe they're better now, maybe not. Exchange em.
