Ever really thought about it. They look awesome.
I would say so. I'd stick with stock wheels instead of Niche. They are a budget friendly wheel company. Some of the wheels may be lighter in weight than stock wheels, but quality is compromised to reduce that weight

i agree. I'd look for a nice set of used wheels, such as Volks or Work wheels, and pay extra than get a brand new set of rep wheels

From what I was told, Niche's mother company is MHT whom have been around since the late 1980s/Early 1990s. MHT also owns Rotiform and a few others. Niche also has a forged line of wheels if you are interested. I have never owned the wheels so i cannot say how great they are.

if a cast wheel is hit hard enough, it will break like this.
