Quality wise, the RPMs are comparable to the ADR, STern, etc, catgory. I was going to pick up a set of those for my first set of wheels, but i opted for the ADR -m classic that looks very similar to the RPMs you are refering to, but the RPMs have a fatter lip. For the price of these wheels its a quick and inexpensive way to go. GL on your search though.

they are nice looking but they are not highly strong, and they are really a cheaper wheel one market.

Looks ok, of course aluminum 3 piece is best, but you pay for what you get. I like I-forged, I use the Imola 19"

Wheel Choices...........

There's a lot to consider when buying rims. Number one would be, are they
better quality than the OEM wheel my car came with? Then how are they
made, how much do they weigh compared to my OEM wheels. And finally
it I own this G for a few years am I going to enjoy those wheels for that
long? It's better to save your $ for a while to afford quality wheels that
you'll love as long as you're driving this great car!

+1 plus consider if you ever want to sell the wheels, what will be the market for them.

Love my Volks.
