What do you think about non branded rims

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-9-...0194QQtcZphoto
I found these on ebay very good price and good looking, but heard to many bad stories about fake steel rims, but these are made out of virgin aluminum. Let me know what you think, Before I buy them.

the wheels say they're for '94 thru 04. The offset will not be the same as your 07 GT

Does anyone make "branded" deep dish Bullitts? I really really like the look, but I don't want to be rolling around on 30lbs wheels.

These are American Racing Torque Thrust M's 18x10(rear) and 18x8.5 fronts.They really look just like the ones Amercian Muscle sells.Pricing is about the same.

My American Muscle wheels are holding up quite well, both for daily driving and track/road course use

All of these non branded wheel are made by a few manufacturers, actually I heard verde was making most of them and those for americanmuscle.com, i don't think you could go wrong with them. You probably will get a better deal from discounttire.com, i bought my deep dish 20" bullitts with nitto 555's and they where $1280 shipped.

You'll have to get aftermarket bands for your TPS.The stock bands won't work twice.
