Seem very light for the money

Does this mean they are rubbish?

    They'll do the job, but they're nothing special for the money.

    I find it amazing just how expensive wheels are.
    For a half decent set of bike wheels you could have some sexy alloy rims on your car !!!

    3x the miles on my bikes than my car. As sexy as my HRE's were back when I cared about things with 4 wheels, they don't hold a candle to the sexiness that is the RZR ;)

    They use the bracciano Kinlin rims, with upgraded spokes and similar hubs... If they are well built they are a notch up the Bracciano, which cost more than these.
    Far from being an endorsement, I think if you are into light wheels, these can be a good bet

    I doubt there are any bicycle wheels on earth that cost the same as a set of wheels for that. Of course if you want to chav up your shitroen paxo then I'm sure you could get something cheaper.

    There's nothing wrong with desiring some impressive engineering but I think the discerning customer knows that it is impossible not to look like a nightclub owner in a car like that. And that isn't a good look! If I owned one of those I'd be in a permanent cringe driving it......

    There is a garage near me that sells cars like that. They are all crammed into a building that Vauxhall would turn their noses up at. The only people who would buy cars like that at a place like that are surely drug dealers!
