19'' STERNS? Anybody hear of this brand?

I was just browsing around the internet for some 19'' wheels and ran into this wheel called the Stern ST-1 Beast Face III... they look similar to the Super Rozzas...

Just curious if anybody can lend their experiences concerning this brand/wheel?

Thanks!

Stern is made by ADR. I'm not sure if I'd buy it online though. ADR has an explicit warning about those wheels sold online, particularly by auction... ADR's Warning

Good or bad? (Just curious). I was trying to look up specs, such as weight, or if this was a forged or cast wheel, but I came up blank...

i almost bought these wheels before but then decided not to.
pros: will look good on your Gs,reasonable price,you can get a set of 19s with tires for under $2000.
cons: it's 1 piece cast.quality not that good,feel heavy.
hope that help.

Thanks Tinman,

I know that you get what you pay for when it comes to the quality, so that's expected, what I am concerned w/ is that there are auctions out there and am peculiar as to why ADR has this disclaimer up--are these wheesl counterfieted often or something?

i too have been searching about these wheels for a while (due to the fact that im a student and car payments as well as other damn expenses limit my ability to buy a much more expensive set of wheels) - i too came across adr's warning. BUT, to me i think they just dont like that their wheels are being ebay'ed
theres a company on ebay (one in particular) that is selling some ADR's some Sterns and some other brands in that price range - the company seems like a legit company and if u go to the companies site they sell these same wheels on their site as well so i dont think they are "counterfeit" rims or anything that ADR's security warning expresses

BUT - wat the hell do i know? lol just my 2 cents!
