I dont know how good they are. ive heard of them on Pep Boys comercials though. Look at how much they weigh and more inportantly, will they properly fit your car. You should get a set that have the right offset.

They're crappy. You can get a nice set of Rotas for that price. Or save up for 5Zigen's or Ray's G-Games.

They are definitely heavy... I know the MR7's are going to easily be heavier than stock wheels, plus the rubber and the combo will weigh more.

Rota's are HARDLY premium Give or take $600 per set, lightweight and durable with comparatively handsome finishes, 7.5in width (instead of the common 7 in). They're a real bargain.
I'd say premium would be Volk, Advan, Work, Weds Sport, etc.
Wheels like HRE and Kinesis are just fudgin' ridiculous

I looked into Motegi wheels before buying my Rotas. The average of their 17x7 weighs 22lbs. The highest offset is also +45mm. And widths are only 7in and thats as wide as they get. Meanwhile my Rotas are priced a little less, my 17x7.5 weighs as light as the stock 16in rims. +48mm offsets, I was sold.
