I just bought these 23 inch Giovanna's and I want to do some research on them but I cant seem to find the style name of these Giovanna's. The shop I purchased them from are out of the office for the week-end. The rims are in transit arriving here next next week sometime. Any help will be greatly appriciated.

If those are even Giovannas they must be real old as they aren't even in the Product line or recently discontinued list anywhere.

I bought them for $550 shipped so I knew they werent the latest and greatest but they are brand new never mounted. I couldnt pass up on the deal. Ive searched the net everywhere and cant find them anywhere. Thats why I asked the ballers here on this forum because I always get good responses. Thanks for the reply and I hope there is someone on here who has them or at least know's someone who has them. Take Care man and Ill keep on searching.

I contacted Big Wheels inc and the 23 inch Giovanna's I purchased are called
10-split Giovanna's have any of you guys heard of these before and what year were they manufactured? Thanks for your guys help and I hope to get some replies soon. Take Care

Doing more research Ive found that they are not even Giavonna they are Gianelle wheels. Are Giannelle rims cheaper then Giovanna's? Not to happy with the dealer for not relaying the correct info unless the Giannelle's are better rims then the Giovanna's. Please help

Those look like the first run Gianelle Mallorca probably 2001-2002. They came out before 24's or bigger, they were the cream of the crop back then, if you wanted to go big 23's is what you'd roll and these and another wheel made by MHT were the only choice. IIRC

Gianelle is a great quality wheel... No doubt..

If you don't want them I'll gladly give you the $550 plus shipping but I'm sure you don't want to do that...:Handshake:

You mean these? I think the other guys are right and they are the Split 10's or something. It is/was common for Giovanna put the same wheel out under Gianelle with a different name. The company is named after his daughters and also puts wheels out under Dbl-G "GG". Giovanna also used to make wheel for use on a Cadillac Escalade Vogue Tyre trim package and that is where mine came from. The wheels say Giovanna on them but have Vogue Tyre center caps. I thought the guy had ripped me off when I noticed the center caps so I did some research. Usually the Gianelle's will have a name with a number in it and the Giovanna's will just have a name. I don' think they are as old as Chistoso mentioined but they are certainly 2-3yrs old and not in production anymore. I have only seen one other truck with them in the year and a half I have had them and it was an avalanche. I don't think there is much of a difference between Gianelle and Giovanna quality wise but I still have not been able to find out why they put the same wheels out and call them different things......anyone? So, you scored big time.... I got a good deal on mine@$1800 w/rubber mounted about 18mo ago. I am actually going to get mine powder coated as soon as I have the scrilla'. The 23'' part is what throws me off, mine are 22's and I have seen 24's on craigslist but never heard of 23's.
