Made in China = No good. I would at the very least look at the Centerlines Magnum LookaLike. They look very cheap in person from where I stood.

I looked at some jegs ones on a car (same thing basically) they looked great from 25 ft, but when you walked up you could diffinetly tell it was a cheap wheel. The spokes were very thick as expected for a street wheel.

Paint or no paint. They still look cheap. Made in China. And I doubt very seriously they was built to handle any kind of power.

At the very least I would look at getting the ones that Centerline offer that are look a likes. They actually have a couple different ones to choose from. I would stick to the tried and true Welds before I spent cash on the knockoffs.

^ You do realize that all street wheels sold have to pass certifications right? Trust me these are VERY sturdy. I've pulled 1.66 60 ft times on them and had ZERO problems with them. These are no different than the wheels Prime and other companies have sold for years.

I know they wouldn't just put wheels out there without certification. I am not ignorant, just know cheap BS when I see it.

To each his own. No matter what at the end of the day, they are still a cheap made wheel. Quality is shitty in my book. Wouldn't have them. Wish I would have taken pictures of the car I saw at the RodRun that had them and were cracked.

I wouldn't run the Prime wheels either. No offense. Just the quality of the wheel is poor. They don't look bad from a distance but once you get up on them it is like WTF.

And if they are so great, why are you selling them?
