On the right car (a low facelift) could look cool.

Wouldn't go for chrome though I reckon it will be a cheap coating and won't last long. :D

Doesn't anyone else think fake split-rims are a bit, well... fake?!

Quite like the design though!

Ask "Eternity" on here before you go ordering these, as he had a set, and i think the ofset was nowhere near what was advertised, plus you pay import tax too on the price.

I like the look of them. Yes, fake splits are generally not as good as a good 3 piece but you get what you pay for, and in the world of more 'cost effective' wheels they look the shizzle!

I think these are good rims, but are a little steeper in price...

I used to run 'pinas back in my misspent youth but nowadays I think a set of these in 17" will go well. I'd love to hide some Mov-it calipers behind them...

Have you had any exposure to their products? How would you rate them if so?

Love the colour scheme of your signature pic rims; :cool:
