Cool RIm quality

Are these rims cheap crap and going to break or bend? or are they a good rim at a low price?

They're fine. Just about any wheel you can purchase online or at a store is going to be DOT approved.

Wheels don't just bend or break for no reason...

so the price difference in most rims is the brand, not the quality?

I guess you give up a pound or two and not much strength difference between their replica wheel and the OEM deals. I asked a while back the difference between say a speedline Z06 and one of their Z06 wheels, no one had a good answer on weight/strength.

I've been running their 17x9.5 C5 Z06 wheels for 4 years now, never had a issue. Even survived the shitty roads outside Chicago on my cross country drive. I drive the local twisties fairly hard. No problems. Trust me I wish I knew how much weight penalty and differences in strength over the factory forged stuff though.
