Default Speedy? Anybody tried their wheels?

I was just browsing through the internet and saw this wheel made by Speedy. Although the shape of the wheels is exactly what I wanted, the brand name seemed quite a bit ghetto. Anybody has any opinion on this company and the wheel below?

i think the wheels look very good although i can't say the same for the company that makes them. I've never heard of them so i guess i can't say they're ghetto or not. Who knows, they might be a new company into the market. But i do like how the rims look and if u can get a good price on them, i don't see why you shouldn't buy them.

I'm looking at two wheels at this time.

1. Speedy atix (photo above) 18 x 8
2. RH Evo C-5 18 x 7.5

which one whould you buy? I personally like the shape of C-5 better, but the width is narrow...

it's not like that's bad or anything. Alot of Japanese wheel companies (even respectable ones) have wheels that have parts made in Taiwan (like the rim part).

And it's Taiwan not Tai Wan

don't let manaray see your Speedy wheels

get the real Advan Model 5.

Do-luck SC,

I'd love to get my hands on the 3-pc C-5's, but they are discontinued and still expensive. Why...do you have C-5's that you are willing to sell?

I dunno man, I'm kinda involved in this start-up wheel company... We're going with the name 'Roundy' Wheel Co. But here's the catch: our wheels are gonna be triangular-shaped, you know, for a maximum tire contact patch. And our wheels are gonna be made out of solid chrome (not plating), so no matter how much you chip or crack, you'll still bling out of control. In fact the more chips and chews you have, the more bling your wheel will have. And on that note, time to up my meds...
