they are continental extreme contacts. ultra quite, i had them on my gallardo spyder once.
the wheels are slightly heavier than stock i assume because they are cast wheel versus factory wheels are most likely forged. (correct me if i am wrong).
by far with this wheel choice, i am extremely happy with the fitment and its quality and price.
Niche is one of only companies in US that makes their wheels in house, not from China.
I have heard rumors of many other famous name brand wheel companies (i.e ADV.1) use Niche to make their wheels. its perfect for my daily vehicle!

I checked out the Niche website and there is no mention of them being MADE IN USA. With the a price under $1500 for the set, I've got to believe these are CHINA just as the AvantGarde wheels.

Looks like only the 3-piece forged wheels are made in the USA.

I don't want to jump into their drama what so ever.
first of all Niche is MHT.
also you are right, niche makes forged wheels in usa, and i don't know about these forge formed wheels.
I have some reference for ADV not "making" their wheels (but only assemble in their "house", so if you would like the contact info, let me know. I will give you that, you can have nice long conversation with him, he knows ADV in and out...trust me.. haha
the reason why i said niche - ADV some how connected,
I had ADV1 5.0 FLOW SPEC = Niche Sport
which is the exact same "copy".. not really, b/c ADV legally bought the design, paid big money to NICHE (MHT) to make their flow spec wheels.
many quotes from other forums..
"Technically they're one in the same. Niche's parent company is MHT. MHT manufactures wheels for ADV1. ADV1 has an awesome marketing and branding campaign, and their products have a very high end feel and look. I don't doubt their quality but they do come in at a premium price even though they share similar designs(in some cases identical with slight design changes) as MHT wheels (Niche, Dub, Monotec, fuel, etc)."
