Default Anyone here have Stern wheels on their Z?

I was looking at the Stern Beast wheel, and it looks very close to the design of the PIAA Super Rossa. Anyone on the forum have them on their Z? Also quality? Any good?
Thanx!

I have seen these in person and they look very good. I can't comment on quality but the price is right. ZPassion's car from az350z.com:

I ran the Stern ST-2 wheel for about 8 months or so. It was a heavy wheel but very solid. I had the same impression of the beast when I saw it too.

is the Stern Beast same exact design as the Piaa Super Rozza? everytime i look at them back to back, something just doesnt look right. they look similar but the Stern looks like it's missing something. i think it looks smaller for some reason.

if it was the same exact design, i'd prolly do the Stern over Piaa to save some money.

Im fairly sure the spokes are thicker on the stern wheels although the pattern is very similiar.

How long did you have them on? Did you drive them in all types of weather conditions?

I almost got the Stern ST-1 for my Z too....

The price and appearance is very nice on this wheel...
You can get a set for around $800-$1000...and it look similar to the PIAA Super Rozza


However, the quality and weight are keep pulling me back for it...
each wheel weight around 35lb without tire...

If your budget is tight and do not mind losing performance, this wheel is very good choice for ya...

I guess the extra 2 grand for the Piaa's is what makes them "Super." The gripes I have with the Sterns is that the paint stops right before the spokes so it totally looks fake 3 piece. That and the fact that the lip is a dull silver not really polished. Just my 2c. Good price tho on the sterns.
