Default New wheels for my NHBP Integra. Need opinions.

I've been looking to buy some new wheels for my NHBP Integra. I have a set of Drag DR20's now and I'm looking for some new shoes for the Spring. I stumbled upon two new up and coming companies JNC and Whistler. I've been looking at the JNC 003 (bronze) and the Whistler KR1 (machined). I have no clue how durable these wheels are. They go for about $110 per rim. I just want a few opinions. Please keep in mind that my pockets aren't deep. Thanks!

I find it funny how you could phonetically pronounce "JNC" as "JUNK". It seems like a rather fitting title, since they don't even use pictures of their own wheels on their website.

Whistler's look like a Rotiform knock-off.

I would avoid both companies, given that they have no credibility or reputation to speak of.

JNC is probably another knockoff company as toyomatt said. same with the other one.. although if those are the only companies you're interested in, I would say the whistler wheels since I haven't actually seen a set in person yet.

If I was you, I would save a little longer and buy some good used brand name wheels. Even at $110 per wheel, with shipping, mounted, balanced, and some new tires. You will come out around $700_$900. For $1100_$1500, you can get some nice used Volk, SSR, works, and etc on nwp4life.com. just got to keep looking. And you won't eve have to get rid of the wheels again. Every time I buy cheap/knock off wheels, I end up having to sell them and buying real wheels later and end up wasting money and wishing I would of just got some real wheels.

I loved my rpf1s 15x7s were something like 8lbs. In my mind one of the best cheapest lightest and stronger wheels for the price.
