Default opinion on Stern Wheels

I kinda like this rim. Looks like the PIAA rozza. Made by Stern (I believe they are a japanese company). what do ya guys think?

i think that stern wheels are imported by Golden apple. That is why the link at the bottom. I may be wrong though. it wouldn't be my first time and probably not my last.

They look good in the pics...but poor workmanship up close....I've seen these first hand and paint is runny and it looked like they skipped a process in the chroming.

Stern wheels used to be good way back when. They had a few nice 3pc models. No POS knock offs like the new incarnation if Stern.

Stern used to be the top of the line wheels for old school VIP tuning back in the day. LIke early 90's. I used to see alot of the STERN wheels on Supra's. I thought they went out of business?
