Are the cast center/forged barrels really that bad in quality?

They make 1 3pc wheel that nobody has, so who knows how they are. The rest of their lineup are 1pc cast just like Axis, TSW, etc... as SxExCx mentioned. Oh, and 8" fronts and 9.5" rears with weak offsets.

Never heard of them. IMO you get what you pay for with wheels and those are low price...

Probabably true in general. But I remember Centerline offered some forged 1pc wheels that were damn light and pretty cheap. They didn't look all that great but if one was a function > form type of person..........

You're listing wheels that they don't even make. Discontinued. Any other obscure tidbits you'd like to share?

I'm listing wheels that they manufactured. You were questioning their quality, not their inventory correct? They seem to have the ability to make a decent wheel. Most likely their 1 pc versions aren't that light though. Then again you never concerned yourself with weight anyway right?

Are these built any better/worse than the Racing Hart copies you just sold?

Jesus Christ. Unless these are forged and extremely light/well built, I wouldn't touch those for that price. I'd much rather have an used set of Volks, BBS, blah, blah before shelling out that new retail price.
