Don't go over any big pot holes and you should be fine lol. I've seen some original sets go on the wheel section of the forum and also ebay.

I dont think I would chance anything that cheap. You risk not being able to balance them, being out of round, bad fit to the hub.

These cars deserve much better than cheap, 1pc cast junk. Invest in a proper set of multi-piece forged wheels and thank me later. If not, at least go OEM.

Yea I would have to agree with the majority here, you will be more upset with yourself later on down the road when you have to purchase new wheels. I don't trust them, that's just my gut feeling Bro.
