^ not sure what you asked him but i think his price is listed on the 1st page.

Tyco RC also has a used set for sale in the classified.

From what i can tell they look like a good wheel with good fitment.

I have a set of sterns I bought before I learned about what makes a quality wheel. I have had the sterns for 4 years now and yes they are heavy cast wheels, but I have had no issues with them. No cracks, bends or sealing issues. They still look like they did day one. I am selling them because now I am going for a new look and also buying some lightweight 19s, but for what I had and how long I had them...I was happy with them.

(I have to add that I do live in Ohio, drive with them 9 month out of the year...once the temps dropped below 40 on a regular basis, my oem 19s with winter preformace tires went on)

They are cast wheels...as such they are pretty heavy but very durable.

I had it......they were really heavy.......and are bootleg design of another wheel.

They are cheap though.......so that's a good thing I guess !

No they don't... at least not in this model. Look up ADR or Stern wheels, they're the same company and as of a few years ago, the same manufacturer.
