Never heard of them but the price seems really good. I'm sure they are made in China. I would be worried about the chrome finish flaking if you drive in the rain and cold weather. Wonder how much they weigh?
Hopefully someone who has dealt with them will chime in

It states on FAQs that they are the manufacturer. All there chrome wheels have a clear sealant and a warranty. Their prices are the best I have seen.

I pu a set of there black machined faced c-6 style wheels on my Z when I first bought it the wheels were kinda heavy but nice, they balanced well and I had no problems with them.

I just didn't care for the look and I put the stockers back on, sold the wheels to a member in KY.

If anyone is interested in the gray stock wheels send me a pm. They will be for sale in the next few days. They have no blemishes and are like new.

These guys are out in Katy, right outside of Houston. I have personally witnessed their chrome wheels flake off in less than a year on a friend's mustang. A few of these threads were posted on mustang boards over the years. Most people that I have seen do support their products though. It could just be a bad chrome process on certain batches of wheels.
