WOW! I didn't realize $299 was the price for all 4 until MashinA pointed it out. Even then I had to go back and double check the eBay posting!

You really do get what you pay for and I'm with everyone who advised that you pass on these. You're better off riding on stockies than those.

Just save until you have enough for a quality set, don't settle. For $299 I'd rather get a set of lowering springs.

I'd hold off on those. Save your money and get some wheels that you can be proud of.

$299 for a set of four wheels is just too good to be true. I would be worried about the quality of these wheels. Avoid them and put that money towards something else.
