My opinion on budget wheels from eBay? They are cast, heavy fake two-piece wheels made in China. Quality control is nonexistent. Paint and stainless steel shine will last about 10,000 miles before it chips, fades and peels. Any guarantee that you get with the wheels is worthless.

They are worth exactly what they cost. Exactly.

Wow, they are using one of our forum member's car to advertise their crap. They just took his picture and pasted their name all over his door. And the stupid thing is, they arent even the same wheels. His wheels are way better quality then that crap. someone should tell him, i just can remember his name on here. oh. and quality is spelled with a Q. Just thought id let you know

I'm pretty sure the wheels on that blue Z in that picture are HRE's or iForged's...aka $800-$1000 per wheel

How do you drive your car? and how are the roads where you live?
honestly, any rim will bend. depends on the impact.
if you drive normal and the roads aren't that bad...those wheels are alright.
also does ur budget for wheels is in this range or higher??

I have Volks forged GT-7s and it bent to crap!

Then keep the stock rims. Unless you like rolling on something worse quality than OEM. And sh!tty *** tires that have horrible sidewall flex and a speed rating of 100mph...

Decent tires alone should cost you at least 800.

ADR is a Higher Quality Value Wheel maker; Not too sure about Ruff Racing though..

There is an endless debate on Spending 1K on Wheels or 4K... Do you get a quality set of wheels at 4K, Yes. Is it worth 4 Time More. Not for 90% of Z owners...really....

For all intents and purposes, you should get a stylish wheel that fits your budget and be happy. Don't go in to debt for a set of wheels.
