These things look great. I love the 35mm offset and the polished lip. For 450 shipped its not a bad deal at all, UNLESS of course the experts on this website have something else to say about it!!!!

I read somewhere these wheels sometime don't balance too well and the customer service isn't the best in the industry.
They said if you're local (I believe they're located in FL) you should go for it but if you're elsewhere, it might be hard for you to deal with them.

I'm gonna try and find the link for you. I'm not sure where I read that from (which forum).

I never personally had any experience with them tho but that's what I heard.

Good luck!

i heard a lot of ebay rims are soft and the bend or chip easily and like he said they are hard to balance properly cuz they arent made perfectly (right diameters and measurements) but for the price... assuming ur local... i say go for it... but remember with bigger rims comes bigger tires which means more money
