The finish was mediocre (chipped easily), they didn't fit tight around the hubs, and it was difficult for me to get them balanced. It took two shops three attempts. It is possible that the new tires were the culprit (wheels were new too) but i have not had the problem with other wheels. I think the best bang for the buck is a square set of OEM 18 x 9.5. My favorite track option is Volk te37's (which of course cost more). They are light, strong and great sizes/offsets. I just foolishly ordered a set of te37's for the track despite the fact that I already have a set of OEM 18's... I have had nothing but great results with Volk wheels in the past.
