a couple of members here have them. they are as good as any other 1 pc cast wheel. they are a bit on the heavy side, but that is normal on all 1pc wheels. I think it's a good buy for what they're asking.

Thanks guys...do you think the fact that they are probably heavy will make a big difference drive wise?

What brand wheels would ya'll suggest...I'm not trying to spend for then 2,000.

The only wheels that look similar are the piaa superozzas, but they will cost you more than 2 grand. I would say your best option is picking up some OEM 19s if you don't have them already, and getting the lip polished and the centers painted black if you want that look. The OEMs are forged while those sterns are cast. The piaas are cast as well but are lighter due to their multipiece design.

If you are getting the wheels just for the look and you don't plan on racing or tracking your car, then go for it. I think they look good, the same look at the PIAAs but cheaper.

Since you are looking at 20's, then you aren't concerned about the weight, so get them. I know a couple of guys with Sterns on their G's and they haven't said anything negative about them. They will have a nicer lip then OEM forged 19's and will cost you less.

These may not fit if you have Brembos.

Those look an awful lot like Stern Wheels - Beast III. I have them, but mine aren't black.

(edit) Ooops, I see they are Stern. Sorry to point out the obvious...
