OkashiZ please answer these questions and tell me how the 20 inch wheel (that sits inside the tire ) is going to lift the car. Then don't post unless yoru asking questions.
I only wrote what i did because that was my experience with these POS wheels. So if you want to insult me by posting this kind of siht and if that gives you your little giggles, go ahead. But I'd really like it if you could say it to my face, I really dont think you could. GFYS. peace.

As far as quality, they are great! Now They do a few scratches (to be expected when being stupid with a wheel cleaning brush :/)

And as far as the bend/crack. They will bend instead of crack so that's a plus, BUT it is hard to do so. I have a slight dent in the edge of my Front right tire. But that was from when I got run off the road and hit a curb. I thought there would have been more damage. No air leaks from this either. They are in my shed right now being winter and all. If I feel adventurous later to remove the 3+ feet of snow there that we have gotten in the last week I'll go and take a pic of it.

I didn't literally mean that these rims are POS, they are good. Not the best but as far as "affordable" wheels go I'd think they are are some of the most respectable. But the set that I had began peel clear coat, but only in spots, not in a pattern like volks do when you use wheel cleaner. It is almost like the clear coat did't seal properly to the metal

I'd disagree. If you cannot afford or just dont want to fork out the cash for volks, works, etc.. these wheels would be a nice choice in my opinion.

Yeah, they aren't high end like work or low end like the Sears and Town Fair Tire junk (Z Racing). They, to me, are more of the higher middle area. Maybe a 4/5

Still waiting for your reasons.

YOu might have some really good advice to offer but without reasons, your post is pointless and not worth 2kb download it took to read it.

I think that the logic behind this statement comes from a while back, axis made a bad batch of wheels that would crack under extreme conditions ( like on a track etc.)

Most if not all wheels will dent under those circumstances, but 20's are not the good choice, I think 19's would look/perform better.
