I'm actually interested in seeing the black wheel on a black 2IS.

Photoshop anyone?

When it curves too much, it makes it look small

They are cheap china wheels that RUFF racing makes. RUFF racing is owned by Good Roads Wholesalers, Wheels in Florida. They are a massive warehouse/dist who just *****s everything out. That is their own line.

Those rims are just ok. There are so many others that are way better looking on our cars. Now if it's true what Jay Slay ^^^ says, then I would definitely pass on these wheels, and keep looking. Just my 0.02

That brand and the MMR my friend got from need4speed sucks. His MMR clear coat peeled off after a few car wash. The guys there who own the shop are hella kool. He got a sick *** 5 series. I`d say save that dough and wait alittle longer til you got enough for a reputable name brand. Oh yea forgot to mention, they`re freakn heavy. They carry other reputable name brands there too. See if they would knock off the price, they did for my friend. We just told them that we drove from central valley to get the wheels.

I'll have to agree with you. To the OP, if you want a decent set of wheels, just wait and save up some more. You'll probably notice these rims are significantly cheaper compared to Rays and Work wheels. Unfortunately, the quality in terms of strength, weight and craftsmanship of Ruff wouldn't even come close. Just my 2 cents.
