They are big on the imort scene. Mostly for Hondas/Acuras. My other car is a Subaru and they aren't very popular in that community. I haven't heard of any quality problems, but they have a reputation for being on the heavy side. I would lurk on a few Honda/Acura forums if you wanted to find out more.
Do they even make something for the C6?

Motegi is American Racing's version of import wheels.
For Some Reason, they thought that "American Racing".....projected the wrong image to an import car wheel buyer.............so they created Motegi.

That first one (all black/grey) isn't bad, would be a good alternative for someone (like myself) just looking for a rear drag radials/slicks rim to at least remotely match their QX1/Competition Grey rims in the front. If they made them in C6 bolt patterns/offsets of course.

I spoke to American Racing about 6 months ago about C6 wheels, the guy wasn't interested, said there is not enough demand for them to tool up. Its a shame because American is capable of low price light weight 1 piece forged in some good designs.

I'm waiting for Centerline to come up with wheels for the C6.I put a set in 18x7(Neutron model) on my '02 Celica GTS,and they weigh only #16.5 each!They are forged,polished billet,ride like a dream,and the difference in acceleration is very noticeable.They are also very affordable($200. each at Jeg's) compared to many other brands,American made, and have been a standard around the tracks for years.
