I am always very wary of buying "no name" wheels. To me, that is like buying a "discount parachute". Doesn't mention any strength or load testing or DOT approval, etc. Sure there is a "life time on structural" warranty, but they cannot replace your car or your life or someone else's. Call me overprotective, but without additional information, not worth the risk, IMO.

ive seen a company on another camaro site selling these wheels. they were the manufacturer of them. dont know how their credability is but even when you buy pricey wheels you can sometimes get burned. i did.

i got screwed a bit on my wheels. in the ordering process, mfg process, shipping, and sizing. they lied alot. when i finally got my wheels, they looked great, but the 295 tire they told me to run, was too small for the wheel. they only lasted a year until i putthe 305's on. the 305 still look too small for the wheel. yet the offset isnt right to fit the 315 on the rear. just doesnt look 100% right.

Really? I never noticed. Will you be at the NEOCC show on the 11th? I want to get a second look.
What is it with wheel companies? It seems that I hear stories of people getting jacked around around by them more than I hear stories of things going well. I guess I am lucky. Forgeline took excellent care of me from start to finish.

One of the things to keep in mind with the "factory" look and bigger sized wheel is the #1 enemy of performance. Weight.
A while back I had a 02 Z06 and I bought Z06 Motorsport Chrome wheels for it. I didn't pay attention to the weight... when I was fitting them to the car and I compared weight difference I was surprised by how much lighter the stock wheels were (yes i am aware the z06 wheels are SUPER light)
I put the new chrome wheels on it 19 all around and I felt the handling take a hit the car felt different.
After I while I got myself a set of CCW 505A wheels and they were very light again the car felt agile and alive.
So, when buying wheels try to stay as close as factory wheel weight as possible if you are concerned about performance.. if that's not your priority .. then never mind what i said. lol

Well, I suppose that is not quite the "no name" I was afraid it was. If you like it, go for it! I'll bet it would look good!

It's got to be about the client not the sale.
