Default Are these any good?

Hi guys,

I'm looking for some new wheels for my 05 blob WRX and stumbled across these... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18-CRUIZE-...item5d514e9c54

I expect I know the answer, but are they any good? They look the part, but why are they so reasonably priced? Is it because they are going to warp/melt at 70mph?!

Also interested. Redlines seem to be out of production and these are closest I can find.

So that automatically means bad?

Not necessarily, but like always you get what you pay for. I did a brief bit of research after I posted this and a couple of people have had issues with the lacquer coming off after a couple of months (not these specific wheels, just the make). Others have had no problems though. I'm still tempted as they look good and are very reasonably priced.

they are a budget wheel but you shouldn't have any probs apart from maybe some paint issues , as gear head said the redlines are a thing of the past now and hard to get hold of
