I have not dealt with them personally, but from a few people I have met through out the car world the genral opinion seems to be to stay away from them. If you don't mind, what wheels are you looking at?

Wow...those are garbage.

It's a shame that HRE and Kinesis are listed among those other brands.

what's make them garbage besides the fact that you are probably like the masses that if you don't follow the crowd and want a black wheel something's wrong.

They are just ghetto looking, low-quality, no-name brand Taiwanese wheels like practically everything else on that site.

There is a reason why those wheels (with some equally crappy no-name tires) are selling for ~$1500 where as a properset of wheels alone usually go for more than double that. You couldn't pay enough to swap those out for the stock wheels, but hey...whatever floats your boat.

And, no...I'm not partial to black wheels.

I have heard stories of poor finish quality - all in all you get what you pay for! Go on the top wheels sites online or the top vendors period and you won't find these wheels there, there's a reason for that.

the offsets for these are horrendous, and are going to look a bit odd

I know nothing about that seller, nor the wheel brand at all

At least that's one Z and it's owner saved for a horrible wheel choice. Good luck in your search HT!
