RUFF or CCW wheels??

I found a set of RUFF wheels that closely resemble the CCW wheels below at a fraction of the cost. Anyone ever dealt with RUFF before or know the quality of their stuff??

They are cheap wheels that are probably made in China and have fake bolts to make them look like 2 piece wheels. They aren't even in the same category as CCW wheels.

Yeah, never heard of them, but the obvious "me too" factor in naming a wheel company after a famous Porsche tuner is definitely a chinese-esque thing to do. That's a red flag IMO.

I did a google search and found some nissan 350Z owners that ordered a few sets and were dissapointed in getting new rims with small paint drips on them. The price was pretty good though... 19x9.5" for just under $1000 shipped.

Also found a new GTO owner that picked up a set and talked about the offset not being quite right for a GTO, and the wheels weren't hub-centric as cast so they supplied plastic rings to make them mount.... and he reported wheel vibrations at highspeeds. He was really dissappointed with them.

For a $1000+ purchase I personally wouldn't gamble with them... but you could get a good deal if you get a good set (cross your fingers ).

Apparently they're made overseas and shipped to Flordia and maketed as Ruff wheels (supposedly named after the owner). Whatever.
