Default TI Wheels - Ti7

So I was scouring ebay for some deals on wheels (volks, bbs, etc.) for racing and I stumbled across these: TI7 Wheels

I've never heard of the company and they look very ricer, but the size, offset, and price is right. Just need to find weight and quality. Anyone know anything. I'm betting they're garbage, but it would be nice to find out otherwise.

Umm...thanks for the help? I realize they are horribly ugly but a proper fitting wheel is better for racing.

Unfortunately, I found out the wheels are heavy (24 lbs) and will therefore not get them.

I am glad you are not buying that wheel. In my opinion, I do not think it is ugly. But quality and weight benefit are not there. For racing or street driving, s "nissen" is a lightweight car and can be futhered benefit from forged/n-flamed casting light weighted wheel and a good set of tire. Reducing stopping, increasing corner entrance/exit, better tire wear, more gas milage, bling factor and finally reducing emmision. If one does not care about any of these benefits at least care about your wallet. A poor quality and heavy wheel will do the opposite from what I just mentioned. In the course of ownership cost, a good quality forged/n-flamed lightweight casted wheel is well worth the invested money
