These are only good for spares or if you need a replacement. I've never seen a complete set at that discount rate.

Those wheels are cheap but I don't think the quality of the wheels are nice. Like sam430 said, only good for spares my friend.

Sweet I think I'm gonna get them lol... I'm in need of summer rims and I still couldn't decide which ones to get, so in the mean time I think these wheels will do until I find the wheels I want.

Edit: Argh, it's only available 18"x8", won't work with staggered tires.

People should understand that aftermarket isn't always better than stock.

not to mention the offset is 0. I hope you like your wheels sticking out past your fenders.

lol cuz most of you guys are rocking volk and work wheels, some ssr and some vossen, i was wondering what you guys would think about these ones, since i've never heard of them before.

original price was $179 each, is it cuz now they're on clearance for $59 each that you guys are saying no to these wheels?

oh just to clarify, i am not looking for wheels right now. i just wanted to see if there was any preconception of negativity towards wheels that are low priced. a forum member just bought new wheels for $159 each (made in china) and posted pics, and cl guys gave him props. so why hate on these wheels (made in turkey, if that makes any difference, i don't know lol) when they were $179 originally?


Quick Reply: holy moly 18" wheels for $59 each!
