    I personally like the mesh VS1 wheel better, it's just more old school racy to me.
    I also like the the VS5.
    The toss up for me would be between these two. I'd just need to see 'em on the car but I'm sure I'd go with the mesh VS1.
    Good luck it's a tough decision.:)

    "You pays your money, and takes your choice!"...... FWIW, I also prefer the VS1. The VS2 is almost too close to the 360 OEM "Starfish" IMHO.

    I don't know if your username is a clue (!), but have you looked at OZ's? - I just put a set of superleggera II's on my car and love 'em.....

    Cheers,
    Ian

    User name is a clue, This company (D2FORGED) is sponsoring a F430 to use it for media images and wanted to know which of these wheels would the ferrari community like to see on the car. BTW they are looking for more then one to sponsor

    Sorry to be a stickler here but some feedback on the site ---

    The site is pretty thin on any technical information, it looks like it was written by a marketing guy. It says you are filling a niche for exotic and high end cars but you don't have any specifics about your products.

    How much do the VS1's weigh. They are made from aircraft grade aluminum --- great but what kind? I assume they are forged because of your company name but that information is missing as well. What kind of fasteners? Available sizes? Tested to the 'highest standards' -- again great but what does that mean, what standards?

    Way to fluffy

    VS1, however i would not put 21", its just too much, bigger does not mean better..... 20/19 combo is max IMO

    Mesh VS1's FTW. If the car is black it would look good with gold centers.
