I don't trust they are of good quality.

I would avoid. There are similar styles out there though.

Stick with good name brand wheels FP. I purchased a set of American Standard wheels back in the early 80's and never could get them balanced.

On my ltd crossfire I bought a set of stern ST1s never had a problem with them...... Cheap doesnt mean CHEAP all the time. I like them they look like a thinner version of the brabus mono blocks.

I agree that is a nice looking wheel, but my general rule is I don't buy from anyone on E-bay that has a rating of less than 98%. Even looking at some of his responses to the negative feedbacks would keep me away.

I agree, but they are nice. Anyone knows who makes a quality wheel that looks like this?

Same here, Snow. Some of the feedback was pretty crazy & downright unprofessional, especially for a Seller. Sounds like a flame war between kids, sheesh!

Good looking wheel, but I notice that it is for 4-19 inch wheels. and the width is only 8.5, isn't our rear wheel 9.5"?
And I wonder if he would do the 18" front & 19" rear.
I might go with something like this if I don't get the Magnus wheel.

Yes, I asked that question. He would provide 19" for the rear, and 18" in front. Here's his answer;

Dear buyer,
Thank you, for your interest on the wheels. Yes, we do have 19x9.5 (rear) and 18x8.5 (front). The price will $509.99 plus $165 on the shipping. If interested please call us at 650-348-2254. Thank you!
