What are your opinions on these wheels?

here is the link
http://www.wheelsnext.com/product.phtml?p=2133


anybody have them? if so could you post some pics please... or maybe if its not too much trouble do a photoshop on a black coupe?
also i wonder if they would fit over brembos.. considering the rear wheel is only 9" and has a 3" lip.. im starting to doubt they will fit.
thank you for your time

It looks clean... too simple for my taste, though. Konig wheels are okay I guess, as I never heard horror stories about it but they are definitely not top quality like Volk. You need to find out the offsets first, and I think you need to be anywhere between +20 and +30 to be safe, but it is different for every wheel out there.

BTW, I don't think there is any reason to go wider as 275 tires fit just fine on 9" wide wheels and that is all we can use without messing up the VDC... wider wheels would be only good for bigger lips.

I agree.. to simple. WAY too simple. And I hate wheels that have almost nothing to them, with all that space in between the spokes.

dont buy from that place! I ordered a set of rims from there and they sent a set and a couple where messed up. So they sent out a new set, they were damaged in transit. They told the tire place that ordered them for me they were out of stock. I called to double check and they said they had a set left. Come to find out they were the 1st set they had sent that were bad. So any company that gets a return and tries to resell the damaged goods is to shady for me to buy from.

If you look, those are KOBE (wtf?) wheels. Never heard of them. That's way too expensive for what looks to be really crappy wheels. Definitely do NOT get them.

They don't look crappy to me. Some people think wheels have to be multipiece to be worth a darn. The clean 5 spoke design is my favorite so I'm with you on the looks. Never heard of Kobe so I have no opinion on the quality but they look alright to me.
