The Vertini, or the Aicona...are these the same or different? I honestly can't tell the difference.

I guess i should ask, which ones are the knock-offs?

Well F1 is running the Aicona right, with all that work done to that G ($$$), why use knock-offs rims.

^I'm not saying those wheels on the G above are knock offs, heck, they both look like high quality wheels.

I'm just searching away for more info on these wheels....looks like Vertini is a division of Koya wheels, thats all i know so far. Both lacks information on the wheels and the company itself.

I'm not saying they are knock off ether, however you ask which of the 2 do we think are the knock offs. And since that G has major money put into it, it makes sense to me to use knock offs. With that being say I think the rims it's rolling on (Aicona) are the real deal, and the Vertini are the fakes.

I don't understand your logic - so the guy has put tons of money in his car, so you assume he'd take a shortcut on rims?

NO,No. I'm 99.9% sure the guy DIDN"T take a shortcut on rims, because of all the other work done to the G. That orange G is rolling on Aicona, which leads me to believe that The Vertini rims are knock-offs.



=Real Deal=Knock offs.

something doesn't look right with that orange one.... Either those are 19s or the tires are to big or the car is not dropped? Does anyone agree?

Those are 20's, and it looks like the tire ratio is 35, I'm not sure about the drop, I never see a G on 20's in person.
