Thumbs up Bad wheels?

Does anyone know about this guy selling (look like fake) rims on ebay. I like this set Link I know they are probably fake and are also very heavy and probably not strong. I just want a good looking set for my everyday drive (I am keeping my stock for everything else). I just don't feel like spending $2500+ for everyday wheels. Any opinions?

Well I think if you look through the guy's feedback, the title is misleading. The rims are copies and themselves are not forged (at least that is what I think). Also, there is a big time shipping charge. The rims come ou to the average Ebay price of mid $600...

not sure what to think on this one. looks like the seller has a pretty high mark
on ebay. but not sure why he would be dishing these out for such a low price
when he could obviously get more. also sounds like he is saying they are new
and that seems ridiculous for only $395 when he is saying retail is $5900. my
only guess is they are worn, bent or hot. or maybe it's just Christmas in
October... lol.

$625/4 wheels aren't necessarily “bad,” they’re just $625 wheels. One gets what one pays for. Besides they are 3 piece wheels: wheels, center cap and lug nuts. 3 piece wheels.

first of all, pay attention that he is saying 3pc forged "design"... doesn't necessarily mean this is a 3 pc wheel. This is probably a one piece cast wheel. And take a look at his reputation, it is built up from buying 99cent coupons.
