its nice but there are plenty of companies doing this style of rim. i'd say if you wanna go this route... make it count. get iy powder coated in a color suited to your ride. my rims, i wanna get them powder coated in a granite to fit my black getta. just a suggestion. still nice rims though.

for a cheap rim yes, they are acceptable

However, my opinion on rims in much like my opinion on girls: Go for the ones with nice lips.

Yea those wheels aren't really my style of wheel either. I like wheels with some kind of lip. But they arent that bad for the price. They look like O.Z. kinda
