I have a lead on a set of Pedrini's and was wondering how they compare to the Riviera's currently on the car? I've been reading that the Riv's are a cast wheel and tend to crack - not to mention that they are heavy. Are they worth the extra couple hundred dollars?

The Pedrini and Mahle rims are cast also, but I haven't heard much concern about cracking. The Fuchs rims are forged, and significantly stronger.

The early Pedrini's can be machined to fit the hub-centric rotors.

I have to get mine machined, got 4 "00" and one "01" Never cared for the Riviera wheels. Always dug the Pedrini/Mahle look
