Default Niche Venice?

I'm looking around for rims and was wandering if anyone here has heard anything good or bad about the quality of these rims. Opinions are welcome im going to be putting them on a red t/a.
Here is a link to them

Niche makes a decent quality wheel, worth the price they are listed at. Usually their stuff is bling-bling ghetto-tastic but thats a damn nice looking wheel. I had wheels very similar to that on my old Trans Am (red TA, black/polished Ruff 278s and love it as well as got a ton of compliments on it). I'd go for it.

I have a set of Boyd 18x10's on all four corners, so yea they can fit. Unfortunately I don't remember the offset of the Boyd's, so I can't compare it to the Venice.

Wow, those look cool and they come wider! I was considering the Ruff 278's but these may have just taken the lead.

Not a bad looking wheel. Just dont like the 90* angle at which the spokes turn back into the hoop.

I just placed an order for 4 of the 18x10's plus some 285 wide tires all for about 2300 installed. I'll let you guys know how they fit.

The only 305 tire I have seen is a Nitto 555R. Their smallest recommended rim width on their site is a 10" rim. 315's generally require a 10.5"+ rim.

I've been trying to get a set of these (Niche Venice) however, according to a couple different retail places, Niche is not producing the 18s or 19s for a couple months. They only have 20s available. There's a guy on ebay selling 18s and 19s however I've written him several times asking if he actually has them IN HAND but he has yet to write back. I wish they had an "email feedback rating" BEFORE a sale. sheez.

I ordered mine from a local tire place that is getting them straight from the manufacturer, MHT is the parent company. They said that there was a 4-6 week delay until they are making another batch of these wheels. That was about 2 weeks ago. The best place I found online for theese wheels was:

www.tiresdelivered.com

They have the same or longer delay on theirs.
