I like them, but at $193 a piece... I'd be a bit worried about their quality.

Yeah I mean I'm not the type that always buys into the "you get what you pay for" mentality, but these seemed like a pretty darn good price for a set of nice looking wheels.

Having said that, I still don't know why people spend 4-5k on wheels when other manufacturers make similar styles for less than half the price.

one car at a time
So why did they win new product of the year ??? There is nothing new or radical about them (from a design or engineering perspective).

That said, if you need rims and like the looks, they are hard to beat for the price....Do you know how heavy they are and I am assuming they are a cast rim ?

I don't think these wheels are hubcentric. Check before you put them on!

Any word on final fitment of these? I am looking at a set with the offsets of 32 front 36 rear. What is the final verdict on quality?
