yeah, they're definitely not true o.e.m. but they should be o.e.m. quality for that price.

^^i mean, i've never heard of that specific company but my educated guess would be that they're of that quality considering the price. most knockoff o.e.m. style wheels are. it's when you get into the cheap aftermarket brand stuff that you have to be careful.

hell, most manufacturers outsource alot of their rim stuff to other (similar) places anyway. they could be coming from the same factory. the wheel business is like alot of other things. there's only a few companies actually producing the wheels, there's just alot of reselling going on with sites like the one you listed.
