Default STR Wheels

Anyone have or know anyone using STR Wheels? I know they're knockoffs and all that but I don't want to spend $3000+ on wheels. Mainly looking at the quality of the finish and if they'll hold up. Was planning to get the Varrstoen ES2's but then saw the STR 514's.
I've searched around on this site but can't find anything on them. Found other car owners talking about them but I'd like to see some on Z's or G's.

Why not just scout the classifieds forums for a used set of enkei, wedsport, or work wheels or something? You can get a set of quality wheels for under $2000 easily. I sold my AME wheels for $1600 with tires on them. The deals are out there and it's worth it. Personally I don't understand how someone could be fine with putting wheels that were made in a third word country on their car.

That's why I'm wondering the quality. I can get a new setup for $1700. Everything in the marketplace right now are either 19's (don't want) or curbed (reason I'm getting new ones). The tires I have right now are shot. I don't have time to wait for the right deal.

If you have to second guess it, why risk putting them on your car? wheels and tires and pretty much the bridge between the car and the road so don't skimp out on this. How much is your life worth to you?

As mentioned, look through the classified for quality used wheels.

Isn't that the company that the more established replica companies are complaining about? lol

Normally a sign that the wheels are probably garbage which these are

As others have suggested go used from the marketplace or look at Enkei's
