Default Motegi wheels - What's the verdict?

I've never heard anything about them, I've only seen them. Tell me what you know about them.

there supposed to be a well manufactured rim. There was an artilce in super street almost a year ago and it was saying each rim from motegi was cut from a big block of aluminum instead of being poured into a mold. Thats why there kinda pricey. But IMO i've never like the style of the rims they have been making...

i had 16 inch gunmetal mr12's on my escort. i loved them. they were an inch larger which looked alot better and weighed the same as my stock rims. i have heard people say that they bend easily but never had a problem with mine. and i think that motegi (which is a division of american racing) has some of the best designs out there right now. but thats just a matter of personal taste.
