Anyone know about these rims?.....

i really like the looks of these, theyre pretty cheap too thats why im assuming theyre of poor quality. but heck if you guys can give me any more info on em itd be appreciated:

those would look real clean on a black C, but like i said, will the be able to take the abuse from all the potholes in NY?



if not those wheels above, i found another pair, but im weary about these too. im really not trying to spend that much and these are all in the price range im looking to spend, yea yea yea......i know you get what you pay for, but i just cant afford to drop 4-5K on rims after buying a fully loaded c. heres the other ones though, let me know what you think:

Stay away. These rims are made in China and trust me you don't want rims that are made in China. Cheaper rims are softer and weaker meaning if you hit a pothole at a good rate of speed your rim will prob bend. And considering the fact your upgrading from 18's to 22's, the quality has to be pretty good. Also look at RVM wheels on eBay, they sell these rims for $600-$700, its the exact same rim but different companies brand them. All are made in China which is a no no when it comes to rims. Hope this helps. If you don't mind the quality issuse then the rims are not bad, they're Lownehart LD1 replica's and I think they would look very good on the 300C.

For Black Rims I've been leaning toward the Foose Speedster B's:

lennoxavesosa, you may want to do like a lot of other 300 owners, including myself, and save for better quality rims. the wait will be worth it in the longrun.

I agree with NoBody. I would save for a forged wheel...it is worth it in the long run. I ordered the cast wheels above only because I got a killer deal through a friend, and I will be using them for only a short period of time, but I am saving to get myself a set of Cartelli 3-piece forged wheels.

hey, i like the first wheels that you listed real good. i definitly agree with the others by saying that if you can save a little more and get a forged wheel. i have wheels that look identical to the black ones, except mine are chrome and made by diablo. i definitly love the look of them, very classy. the reason why i chose the diablo's is that it is a wheel that alot of people put on mercedes, and it looks awesome on them, so i figured it would be nice on mine. i like the look that it give, and the only way that i would change my rims out for others would to upgrade to asanti wheels, but i dont see me spending damn near 6000 dollars for rims when i have a little over 3ooo in mine.

hey ink, those rims are insane....how much did you pay for them? and since you said youre only using them for a short period of time, would you be interested in selling them once your done (how long are we talking)? after hearing all you experienced guys sayin to wait and get a forged, or 3 piece rim, i just might. whats would happen if i bought some cheap set of 22's and hit a pothole bad?
