Not knocking them out in any way, they look great, maybe I was hoping for something else to set them appart, but, thumbs up for the weight saving!!

Hi desault..
From 50 ft those wheels might look similar in spoke layout to the RG41. But the people that have already received their wheels I'm sure can attest that the craftsmanship of the RG41 Monolite is superior to probably just about any wheel they have ever seen. This is not readily apparent in pictures sometimes.
Not only are the Monolites going to be much lighter than the wheel you have pictured, but they are going to be stronger. They are even stronger than most other forged wheels.
As for design.. there are limitations sometimes given the construction techniques used. We are looking at new designs all the time and appreciate input in this area. The thing to remember though, is that most good looking designs already exist in one wheel or another... unless the intention is to build something really extravagant (bells and whistles included) that belongs on a Escalade.
