I checked out Hop Up racings front page today and saw These wheels.

i was wondering if PIAA had quality and here it is.

Its a 2 piece forged wheel. I just got my TE 37s. I am so bummed. Hop Up has these for $2400 The rears are a six inch lip.

I wish I could have gotten these Oh well. Anyone wanna buy some nice TE37s??

I dont know about PIAAs other wheels. I know they are relatively inexpensive, so yes they are probably cast.

i do know that These wheels are two piece and forged. Since I think it is the only forged wheel PIAA offers, the manufacturer of the Rozzo is probably outsourced.

Personally I have always thought of PIAA as a quality name, so if their wheel collection is mainly cast , that is not a good marketing scheme. It could ruin the rep of their lighting branch.

However this wheel is beautiful. A true two piece forged wheel with a polished lip and fasteners all along the seam. i wouldnt be interested in these if it was a one piece. I detest one piece wheels that masquerade as a 2 piece by using non functional fasteners. Its like putting a fake intake on your civic.

If anyone in So Cal wants to buy some Nice 19' TE37s let me know because Now I want these frickin PIAAs'

Looks like a 19" of the Work Meister S2R. They are about $2400, which makes me think they are forged and not cast for that price?

2400$ and cast????? are you sure? Thats too much for a cast wheel IMO!!

ranger5oh

They are cast 2-piece? wtf, I have never heard of such a thing. Seems like it would be weak. Whatever though, they are darn good lookin!

I might have a set for trade. Anyone want to trade a set of TE37/CE28N/LE37 for a set of PIAA Rozza 19s? Please PM me.

Keep the TE37's.....they look MUCH better IMHO, and there's no questioning Volks quality or lighter weight..

Hey Joust 75,

I saw the PIAA Super Rozza on a Redline the other night and they looked awesome. So I come here to get an opinion and your 9 month old thread is the latest one posted.

Did you ever get these rims? Did anyone? Does anyone have any opinion about this rim's quality?

I think those are are available in cast and forged.

If you just like the styling, there's a Sterns that's way cheaper. If you want to spend the money on forged, just buy the original Work wheels instead of these clones.

Thanks Road Warrior

xxlbeerZ, PIAA does make a forged wheel but the one I like, the Super Rossa, is cast. They are not for my car anyway, I'm getting the wife a C6 Vette and I'm shopping for wheels. I'll take a look at Work wheels. Thanks for the feedback. Here is a few pics of the Super Rossa

I have these in 19x7.5 and 19x9 in custom offsets for our s2k... they're a great quality 2 piece wheel... not heavy at all compared to other 19s considering a cast construction

appearance and overall build quality is fantastic - lives up to PIAA's reputation in the lighting department

anyway YMMV as they may be heavier for Z/G sizes/offsets... but i'm very please with them
