Default Are these decent wheels? (MB motorsports Drifter)

Hi all, just got a Lexus SC 300 a month ago and the tires on it are cheap and unevenly worn so I'm gonna get an upgrade and get some 18" wheels.

Mostly, I'm looking for opinions on the wheel in terms of quality of construction and reliability.

MB motorsports drifter 18X8.5 5-114.3 46SM.

I'm selling ASA St3 chrome 18x8 for $800 shipped with lexus center caps. They are in a box and used only 2 days no marks at all. I paid $1300 total shipped from tirereack.com. It will fit you SC perfect. I have an LS430 and went with the 2004/2005 polished oem 18's

Send me a PM or reply if interested

The reason you're not getting a response is probably because it's not a major brand. It's likely some sort of knockoff cast wheel. I've never even heard of the brand. But look at the bottom of the spokes: they call it the "Drifter," yet the spokes are weakened by the holes. I doubt it would stand up to any drifting. I wouldn't get them.

I couple of subaru guys are riding these wheels. They love them for the PRICE, but I wouldn't do it. It's obviously some sort of knock off for that price. Unless Discount Tire will warranty them?
