No problems with 20s so far and we have sold tons of them on 211s, this one is our client's car and not one of mine so it a different one than our project car.

Nice, Love the Modulare's I saw the ones you sold Duane, They are still sitting in his garage. He hasnt got around to mounting them yet. Qreat quality wheels. Do you guys sell Trinity wheels? I like their two tone Monoblock 5's but in a 20" these 22's look way too big IMO

Duane still hasn't put his wheels on yet??? LOL

The Trinty wheels I heard are very bad quality. They have a lot of knockoffs in their lineup (although not the one you asked about) which generally is not a good indication.....

They make the wheels for Henrik Fisker's Tramonto and Latigo and word is the wheels have a lot of out-of-round/vibration problems. I believe they are changing manufacturers as well.

not really....the Zone 5 may be a possibility, or the Modulare M5, but those don't really resemble the Trinty. The HRE 842R looks sort of similar to the Trinity.
