Link doesn't link to wheels.

But rule of thumb is you get what you pay for.

What you pay is what you get. Watch out for cheap prices because they could be cheap rims.

I agree. But it is your ride and your budget.

I've always wondered what kind of tests wheels have to pass in order to be safe. Even looking at my own I kind of wonder how thin or few the "spokes" can get or how hardened or strong the metal has to be. What factors are considered in design and application of materials. What the limitations are in stress tests.

People stop dissing on my wheels, haha. Yea they were on the cheaper side, Im on a budget. So far no problems with them and nothing but positive comments on the streets. I got the all matte black version.

Yup.....like everyone says " what you pay, is what you get" , but I have bought cheap time before on my integra....and reason being is cause I was on a budget...if you like them go for it, I'm sure they are not gonna fall apart while your driving * knock on wood* lol...if they are in ur budget then go for it or just save up a little more and get a more expensive wheel!
