never seen them in person but from what I notice its the most common set of wheels I've seen on this forum. Just about everyone has them so I assume they are good quality

The only downside that I've heard is that if you ever toast one of the wheels, you better find one on a forum like this b/c the manufacturer does not sell onesies and twosies.

personally, I don't care for completely blacked out wheels. Why even bother buying wheels if you can't see them?

the people with the right eye see them. no they are not blingy or flashy... and that is actually the best part. they don't say "look at me" but ironically you can't stop looking when you see them.

didnt have those rims but did have the LMs from Linea Corse. my experience is they hold up well if ur driving on flat roads. 1 rim cracked, tried to order a replacement rim and was told they didnt have any and to call back a week later. called back the next week and was told the same thing. this went on for nearly 2 months till they said they dont sell just 1 or 2 rims. wish they wouldve told me that from the get go instead of stringing me along. during this time i had my cracked rim welded just hoping i would find a replacement to only find out 2 more rims had cracks. so now i have 3 rims that have cracks.

for $1300 reps that dont hold well from my experience, i rather spend $900 on varrestons(sp) with much more aggressive offsets or get some used rims.
