Inexpensive cast wheels made in Taiwan or somewhere. Possibility of breaking due to inferior quality. If you dont want to spend much $$$ and want to have a wheel that knocks off more expensive wheels such as the vs-xx...then by all means buy them. But be aware that cast wheels are heavy and fragile.

Personally, i'd never ever buy a cast wheel. Save your money and get something nice.

Refer to the other thread thats going in the wheels and tires section for more info on the pros and cons of cheap vs. good quality wheels. And do some research. Many people have talked about these.

^+1 a good portion of Work wheels are cast. Rays has a fair amount of cast wheels and almost all of the Volk line of wheels are forged hoop/cast disk.
