I bought these rims to be track rims, but I found some other ones I wanted. Two of these rims are still sealed in original packaging, and 2 of them i took out of the box and was about to mount, but took off might have super minor mounting scuffs (non visible when mounted). They have not been driven on. If you have any issues or concerns please contact me. These rims are one of the most cost effective rims and cost 650 when i got them. They average for 160 per wheel, but they have been sitting here too long and i need cash. This is a review done by audiworld on these rims,

I will drive 30 miles to meet anyone halfway to buy these rims. (91755)<o:p></o:p>

Strength: When searching for an inexpensive wheel, one has to worry that they will be receiving a product which is of substandard quality (at least I was). Ace alloy wheels are TUV certified (a German quality control standard), so this erased any fears I had that the Lolas might not stand up to the roads in my area. In fact, the driving situation in my locale is abysmal (<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on">Halifax</st1:City> - <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">East Coast</st1:City>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Canada</st1:country-region></st1:place> - wide temp variances & tons of road and sea salt), so it is a perfect test site for structural integrity of the Lolas. Also, other Aw'ers (LarryV and Jasyn) have had experience with adverse conditions (an accident and San Fran streets, respectively) and the Lolas have fared quite well. I presently have about 5000 miles on my Lolas and have had no trouble thus far (even though they've seen some nasty potholes). <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Performance: The performance gains to be had are a product of the upgrade to a wider 17" wheel, not the specific rim itself, so I'll skip this aspect. <o:p></o:p>
