That’s subjective, ppl that use non oem stuff believe it’s all “unsafe”. And also believe “you get what you pay for”. That specific link seems great 99% positive reviews. Real sets of those wheels goes for around 4K. Buying 2 sets and assume sooner or later 1 or all wheels crack or bend, you’re still under budget. Minus towing fees etc. Real or replicas wheels will fail hitting a curb or pothole but fakes will more than like happen more often. Avoid being stupid and you’ll be okay lol

Thank you, my budget without the tires, $1500. Do you have any links or brand recommend?

This place is a joke.
I'm pretty happy with my 211 (e class) reps from the Wheelership.com
Great quality, didn't seem heavy, and had no problems balancing.

Aftermarket wheels should have the proper certifications for their manufacturing processes! It's about style and safety (and performance) at the end of the day, so as long as the source and returns checks out!

No decided not to buy it!
I did my research.
1. it will hurt your suspension because it's heavier then most good quality brands
2. It will crack less then a year
3. balance problems.
it would be okay inner city driving, but I wouldn't get on a highway with it.
:/
also as you can see, nobody recommended yet
