I voted the 3rd option which was, "waste of money." I was really expecting to see something that looks nice or decent.

But it's just my own opinion. In the end, it's your car, do whatever you want with it.

i like keeping it simple. 5 spoke is my thing. Nothing real crazy. Considering powder coating them black tho when I get them. They are all mint yes. Pics on the car soon. Just waiting for the salt/snow to disappear.

6/16 haters isnt too bad. You cant expect everybody to have the same taste. Like I said, pics on the car soon enough. 5Zigen rims arent cheap. Those ones are like...$190 per on average. So $400? Hell ya im takin them.

Nice wheels. I personally like them. My ol' lady wants to put a set on her EM2! She has been trying to find a brand new set though and everyone seems to be out of wheels.

Im well aware that $400 isnt alot for wheels at all, but considering they are actually tons more than they new...well it doesnt really matter what I paid for them.

They are the cast version--they aren't that expensive new.

$149/wheel for 5x114, 17x7.

All the haters kill me, you guys need to grow up. FN01RC's are great wheels, and for $400 you stole them.

Used = $400
New = $600

That's an ok price. Not great, but not bad. Far from a steal, though.

Used tires on wheels don't bring much, either.

Are they really that cheap?

Is there a cast and a forged version or something? I always was under the impression that they were more.

Yep, follow my link above for pricing.

And there was/is a cast and forged version...just like the BuddyClub wheels.

Cast = Rota prices
Forged = Almost Volk prices

As long as there is no curbing and the tires are good, $400 isn't bad.
