^Ha!

I think they look good. Obviously quality is in question, but I bet they look sweet mounted.

Looks nice. can't wait to see them on you car. What's so fake about it? as long as you don't call it another name or put any decals on it, those look like real wheels to me.

I've seen more than just a few shattered sets.

Yes, not just broken, but shattered. Car will likely get a good amount of damage when that happens. Not if, but when.

I've gotten thru a couple winters on non-brand name wheels on my previous vehicle.

I am aware that you pay for quality, just coming from 3pc forged wheels I know. I know where I drive well, like what roads are good and which ones aren't. I've even bent one of my forgestar wheels late last winter season because of the size of the hole on an unfamiliar road I was on and I was going maybe 30mph. My car wont see alot of use this winter so I'm not concerned about that aspect. Also these wheels are JWL certified as shown by the stamping on the wheels themselves.



They look of good quality and didn't seem heavy. I'll just have to report back after putting them thru real world use.

For both, it's all fun and games until you break one.

Do you realize that companies self certify and put the JWL casting on the wheels themselves? A company that blatantly rips off designs (but not quality) form more well known high quality wheels is not who I'd trust to be honest about the wheels having met the standard.
