Lightweight, quality & pretty damed strong would be my first few guesses, after all wrc use speedlines so they must be pukka rims.

agree theyre good rims, had some on my ols sport (18" with toyo rubber £1099), but i dont think theyre the strongest wheels made, personally anyway. had a nasty crash and they all snapped clear. could be said any other wheel in the same scenario would have done the same i suppose though

this is what a sliced one looks like...

If you can afford to buy them then buy them, as you will only regret it later if you don't. I spent £1100 on my Work Emotions 18" and love them. Just take care when parking next to the kerb. Wrap them in 45 profile tyres which will give that bit of protection against kerbing.

Speedline are a quality make. Prodrive PFF7s are Speedline wheels.
