Default Wheels on Ebay: RPM wheels with Federal Tires? Any thoughts or reviews on these?

i was lookin thru ebay at wheels and these caught my eye http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/20-RI...37100749QQrdZ1
I was considering Axis GTR's but ppl said the wheel quality on Axis is bad. How about the quality of these wheels? they would be $1,700 with Federal tires and $2,300 with Toyo tires. Any thoughts would help bc i like the wheel but im sure the qualitys not great

I'd go with Axis quality over those...

They probably weigh about 35+ pounds for a 20" too. You are going to kill performance, but whatever floats your boat... it IS a nice looking mesh wheel.

Here's mine. 19"
I like the wheels, but the only downfall is cleaning. Too many spokes.

I had the staggered setup in 18's and the offset was not the best +35.

You can get very similar ADR for the same price almost. Call Robert he is a licensed distributor and tell him the guy with the red z told you to ask about ADR M Classics. 602-692-4063 He has excellent customer service. Plus most manufacturers will not warranty a wheel bought off ebay even when new.
