Linea Limix wheels ?

Does anyone have any experience with these wheels. Any information would be helpful.

All I know is that they are forged 18x7.5 w/ something like a +52mm offset.

They're ~16lbs and pretty expensive.

They were designed for Subaru's so fitment is excellent. There aren't many options with an offset that high.

I like the look of the wheels and I can appreciate the fact that they are forged and therefore expensive. But I just gotta wonder about them. I have been all over the net, and I only found two places where these wheels are mentioned.

http://www.crimson-inc.co.jp/limix/legacy.html

http://www.fastwrx.com/linlimwheel.html

I also found them in print, one magazine listed them as SYMS wheels.

I was hoping to find someone with personal experience with these wheels, to know if the quality matches their price, and if they are as strong as "forged" suggests.

I have them on my car. I haven't hit any major potholes so I don't know how strong they are, but I can tell you that they aren't immune to curb rash (wife drives the car too).

SYMS does make its own version with the only discernable difference being the center cap.

There were a little pricey, but I have no regrets. For the same price, you could get Volks, but those are far more common.

thanks for the info. where did you get them from and how much were they, if you don't mind me asking. Also, what color did you get. If the silver, is it a painted silver, or is it a polished silver. Lastley, its hard to tell from the pics, but is the lip machined, polished or the same as the center?? Pics on your car would be great

Sorry for all of the questions, but its a lot of money to waste on something, I might regret down the line. I just want to be sure before I plunk down the money for wheels.

thank you again for all of the information.
