To me they look cheap. The look somewhat like the trials, but if you want the trials then I say save your money and buy them. Who knows what kind of quality these wheels are. And if you have a problem you will have wasted your money. That is a gamble I wouldnt be willing to take. Just my .02

Price seems to have little to do with the quality of rims. You can pay over $5k for over-priced MAYA rims and have the chrome fall off in two years (like mine), or pay a lot less and have the rims re-chromed many times (if you choose chrome).

I think a lot of the suppliers use the "WOW" factor to set price-point to gain maximum profit.

What you need to be SURE of is will the supplier stand behind their product if something goes wrong, or will they make it sound like you did something wrong? A lot of these folks have no concept of the definition of quality.

As long as teh rims are DOT and have a reasoable reputation, then the least amount you spend, the better.... as long as YOU like them, that's what matters!

what do you guys mean by cheap? the more money you spend makes the product better. if someone was selling the rims that you guys like second hand right in this forum wouldnt you buy it CHEAP if you could. now if you know something particular about the product then please share, evryone doesnt have big budgets like you guys

If you like them, go for it. I don't have the most expensive wheels by any means, after just purchasing a used set of a lesser quality brand (in the opinion of most on CL)...but i like them, and they are practical for my use as my GS is a daily driver....I didnt want expensive wheels that would get beatup thru everyday driving. It's all just a matter of preference, and here, a lot of people have different opinions on whats nice/good/ugly/cheap etc. Go for whatever fits your budget and preferences
