At that price, it's screaming "WalMart Special". I'd be VERY afraid.

Horrible.......

As I've said in the past, if your going to get rims, GET RIMS.......

To me that's pure rice, putting on cheap rims just to 'have rims'....... save up and get something respectful (we all know the brands). Safety definitely a big issue also, at that price I'd be shocked if they were steel. In fact steelies for winter tires are even more then that.

They look nice...but yeah at that price I would be questioning how well they would hold up to daily driving/holding the car up. Nifty design for sure....but I would research them more before I made a move on them.

These rims kinda make me horny though. http://www.wheelmax.com/product.asp?ProdId=9876

I like em too, but that price makes me go "Construction Quality, Price, Longevity: choose any two"

On a yellow car ? Personally I think they'd look a little off.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.
