E92M with Venacci Mesh wheel PICS!

Hey guys,

Finally got some GOOD pics of the Venacci Mesh wheel that i shot last time. Poor pics last time but i got good pics this time. Also i found out that they have other designs of wheels:

http://www.venaciwheels.com/products.html

Looks pretty cool. I like their Z with the 5 spoke. (VS124)

Venacci Mesh specs. They have a pretty good variety of specs and offsets. Pretty cool!!






More pics here: http://s919.photobucket.com/albums/ad32/m3_lin/Venacci/

I also LOVEEE the black strip that the E92M had!!!

Thoughts? Thinking about getting this wheel.

Ed Lin

yea. You can call Venaci and they will get you a set perfect fitment for the M3. No clue what the offsets on the M3 is though.

NO SPACERS!! WILL BE FLUSH!

Wow, those do look nice.

But the lack of any real tangible information about these wheels is very disturbing. There are no sizing, offset, or build construction information listed anywhere on their site.

That hurts the brand IMO.

I'd rather take a chance on a stateside multi-piece wheel company (like Forgeline for example) where I can actually see what sizes they offer.

I'd like to how these products are any better than what we have in the marketplace now...

All of these new multi-piece wheel companies (that are flooding the market these days) spend more time on promoting there wheel products at car shows and events...rather than giving the consumer a good solid reason to buy their product over all their competitors.

Promoting your brand is necessary to a certain extent, but the trend seems to be to simply hype the aesthetic beauty of the wheels...and little else. Take a look at there website and tell me I'm wrong...

If you want any relevant information from this company, you would have to EXTRACT it from them. Via email. That's not the way it's supposed to work.

They're displaying poor customer service right off the bat.

Your goal should be to make it as easy as possible for your customers to see what their options are (in detail), and WHY your particular products are a better choice for them vs. what every other competitor is offering. There own website is a miserable failure in that regard.

My 'golden rule' on this is a very simple:

The HARDER (or more difficult) you make it for me to make a fully informed decision, the LESS likely I am to buy your product. Period.

I would never buy anything this expensive 'blind'. You can get burned pretty bad by not getting all your ducks in a row, before you hand over your hard earned cash. You guys are waaaaaaaaaay to casual about this stuff IMO.

I'm not afraid to ask the tough (and necessary) questions, to properly ascertain what the hell I'm about to drop a large sum of cash on. I put these companies on the hot seat because...DETAILS MATTER. (they always do)

Sorry Ed, but these are valid criticisms. (of this company and many others)

It's a serious pet peeve of mine...as you can probably tell.

I can't understand the mentality of the owners/executives in charge at these wheel companies.

I've been in the business for over 15 years now, and it never ceases to amaze me how these companies consistently mismanage there business enterprise.

This is very basic business management 101 stuff. I just don't get it...

I am not sure. I think the whole set for 19s is below 3k and 20s are like mid to high 3s(less than 4k)

hrm.. what do you mean by this? i can see that on their site, it lists all the sizes and offsets you can choose from each of the wheel. The only thing i see missing is the bolt pattern for each wheel on some of the wheels.

I think thats all personal preference at that point. Some people get wheels just purely because they like ow it looks. Some people get wheels because they want the weight savings. Some people are going for a particular look. So i think that each wheel companies have their pros and cons. I do agree that the wheel market is flooded, however the strong will stay and the weak will go thats darwinism for ya.

SOme of your criticisms are valid and some are well personal opinion IMO. I personally think that the companies that actually listen to their customers will ultimately succeed the most and the longest. So if Venaci listens or any companies listen to your criticisms, they can only benefit from it.

It's a serious pet peeve of mine...as you can probably tell.

I can't understand the mentality of the owners/executives in charge at these wheel companies.
