Every young man in America knows that Vivid stands for the best in adult films with the most beautiful women, and these wheels will reflect that market position.”
Mr. Zuber founded MZL after more than a decade as a top executive with the U.S. operation of MOMO Italy, a leading manufacturer of automotive wheels and other high-performance automotive parts. MZL is an affiliated division of Mr. Zuber’s manufacturing company, which has a distribution and retail network in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
