    Mimas and Giano

    I have the Mimas in gloss black on my car and figured "why not, I deserve a change" so for New Years I bought a set of the Giano rims in gloss black too. Will change them when I feel like it.

    Hope the rest of you all have great start to 2017.

    It's good to be me.

    I have the Giano Titatium on my car but like the Mimas better and going to change to them. The Mimas are a lighter stronger wheel since they are forged and Giano are cast. Which do you guys like better?

    Great pictures. I now have both, but have to be honest and say I always preferred the look of the Giano's. They just looked very unique to me whereas there are a number of aftermarket rims that have a similar look/style to the Mimas. I bought my car with Mimas, and then I fragged a rim, bought another one, and now I have 5 of the Mimas rims, and 4 of the Giano's. So I'm going to make the change and run the Giano's for a while and see what I think.

    For me it's personal preference which happens to be style over substance on this one (agree Mimas are technically superior).

    Gianos look dated. Seems most Ginao equipped cars also have the louvers. I guess people try to save a few £££.

    Beautiful colour, there.

    I usually much prefer the Mimas wheels, but I have to say, those titanium-coloured Gianos look AMAZING on your car.

    No louvers here, and no money saving as I have both sets of rims. I just find the Mimas too similar to many aftermarket wheels. Will change them up just to not get bored with the look.

    Would anyone know the weight difference between the two rims? Many thanks.

    I know it's all personal preference, but I prefer the giano wheels. Especially in black or titanium. The Mimas look a lot like other wheels out there, where as the gianos pull through the unique design of the car.
