If you like it then go for it but if you have extra cash, get better one.

looks like replicas of volk racing sf-winning wheels, albeit designed more "cheaply".

case in point, sf-winnings are two-piece wheels; the face is bolted to the barrel of the wheel.

at first, these replicas look like two-piece wheels, but upon closer inspection you can't really be certain if these are two-piece wheels (i know i couldn't). the bolts might be there to cosmetically "fool" those closely inspecting the wheels. i honestly wonder if those bolts serve any other purpose besides cosmetics.

offsets are actually listed in the ebay listing.

front: +38
rear: +40

it's your money, but do you really want to drop money on wheels that are 1. on ebay, 2. made in taiwan, 3. "claimed" by the seller to have passed JWL/VIA testing (but probably can't provide proof of it)?

Wheels/tires are the only thing on the car that contacts the pavement - don't cheap out on them.
