Arrow Watsup with these?

In my search for rims I came across these

http://www.wheelmax.com/product.asp?ProdId=15543

Being as im still in highschool needless to say mony is tight, all other sets of rims i have looked at have been double this price. If i can save the money It would be great to put into something else/ I know the saying you get what you pay for but is this trully the case with rims?

Let me Know please

Thanks in Advance!

What Does that mean?

Yea i understand there cheap... How are they knock offs? Knock offs are fake things that have the brand name on it, if these said axis or something more expensive then they might be knock offs now there just cheap rims, can some one please help and tell me if i will be disappointed if i get these saying how cheap they are isnt helping.....

They are knock offs becuase they are the exact wheel many other companies put out. Rota and Speedy are just some of the other companies that put these exact wheels out. Im not saying they are bad, but they are knock offs and you get what you pay for. If you are looking for just a cheap wheel that will give you a new look then thes things are perfect.

Kwin if you want black rims, I can get you a set of black ones for 102/pc from Les Schwab and then whatever shipping is. They look pretty nice. If your interested let me know and Ill put some pictures up. They are in our bolt pattern. And come in 17x7.5 which is a sock tire if you have the 17 inch rims. IF 18 I can look a few more, once I get home ill put up some pictures.

Not to mention bunny kid. A mod is still a mod no mater what it is, as long as it changes from stock.

Well some wheel paint isn't high quality. When your in high school you wanna look cool and show off our ride with some rims and what not. I mean we have all been there. for 102 a rim plus shipping its less then 550 plus any in town place might have a nice cheap one too. I know I get my stuff at Les Schwab. Just because its a great place. Plus I used to work there so they wont haggle you. But its just west coast and some mountains not the east coast yet.

By the way Kwin. That road hazard is a bunch of garbage. I wouldn't buy those. A product coming with a warrenty like that means one thing. Something will go wrong.

almost any single thing you buy in life comes with some sort of warranty

and you can road hazard on almost every single tire/rim.

Yeah but the thing is a real tire store does free ones. Like Les Schwab does for sure, and big o as well, and firestone does it on tire packages I believe.

Think about it, if you have to pay for it. What do you take it as? Thats like buying food, and getting a food poison warrenty. Pompus imo, it should be free. Just like the gastromy policy they hvae. If it makes you sick or is not right, well remake and give you it free, at no charge.

Trust me I worked at Les schwab, my dad even knew him before he died. He is a ver honest man. The markup on the wheels is only 15% from cost. 5% for the worker 10% for the company. And the price fro the dealer. They dont sneak it in anywhere.

Think about this, If you drive off from the tire place and go through a heavy constrcution zone and get nails in your tire, the tire place should fix it for free? No they shouldnt becuase they are not at fault for you driving over nails. That is why you pay for road hazard coverage.

Well at Les Schwab you get it free. Honestly. And if you run over a nail. Like i have in my old car. Its a free flat repair. Hell a majority of the time. They do it for free even if you dont have wheels from there. Trust me other tire places prob dont care when it comes to Les though, they actually do. My family works there I worked there. I know first hand experience.

Then why did you post? To seem like a tough cookie? At least engage in the talks if you wanna post.

Im not saying Les schwab doesnt add it for free, but you stated that any wheels that come with a warranty cant be trusted. That is very wrong becuase almost every wheel you can buy comes with some type of warranty. So if you go by that logic if a Volk wheel comes with a warranty it cant be trusted? I say I would trust a company more for adding a warranty becuase hey wouldnt add it if they knew they made cheap wheels and would have to replace them all the time.

Oh I see what your saying now. Ok so I guess I worded it very wrong. Warrantys are trustful. But an online product like that should have it be free. Just like a Local shop in my mind. But I guess everyone thinks differently either way I would buy rims from a store I live near then online. Even if it was "Joe schmoes tire shopee" with two e's ;(
