when in doubt.

if your tires cost more than the wheels it isn't worth it. (yes there are inexpensive quality wheels, but we know their good and therefore not in doubt).

I think I've seen those before.

Unfortunately they were on a riced CRX and the owner was telling me about how sick his car was so I wouldn't believe it.

They're too blingy for me but they didn't look that bad in person. Probably gonna rust or pit pretty fast though.

Never heard of them, but I believe Work or BBS uses that same style. The ones your looking at are just cheap replicas that's all. You get what you pay for.

i wouldnt put cheap rims on these cars. Lets imagine you save some money now, but down the road if that rim breaks and comes off of your car, then you'll be paying loads out of your pocket to get everything fixed.
