I have found a set of AMG that I will run in the summer that have been triple chromed, but will still run the Chinese junk in the winter. Each to there own, but I would not trust them at high speeds, which I like to do...
The wheels I purchased had forging marks from Europe inside of them and were TUV approved, so basically Autobahn safe, they also came with a 2 year warranty.
3 years in, I am happy with the wheels, have had them well over 130 with no problems, 10+ autoX and track sessions plus a few trips to the Dragon and been through 3 or 4 sets of tires.
Mine are the gloss black with machined face and if I remember correctly, may have been a little more expensive, but I also went 18/20 and it was very difficult to get someone to break up the set for me...
