Are these really BAD??

Since I'm looking for replacement for my stock rims, I found some rims from many sites. Are Motegi, Exel, ADR, Katana that bad?? I like the styles and cheap price. I know I get what I pay for, but with my budget, it's hard to get best quality. Are they really bad quality?? bend like crazy??
I searched and found people with these rims and I liked it.

People recommended wheelmax and I found all these. Is there any good company in wheelmax other than racing hart, axis, and 5zigen? (racing hart's page is not working)
OK! even these all suck, which one is the best one of these?
I like Katana VR-6 in gunmetal.


I know it copied designs but I don't really care. I just wanna know it will bend or something like that.

or 5Zigen 5ZR hyperblack


What do you think? I have 2001 Black CL-S, and looking for 18x7.5 w/ 225/40/18 tires.

what tires come together in wheelmax wheels & tires package?

if anyone sells used rims similar to this price, please let me know.

Well, Wheelmax does not sell real Racing Harts.... they sell the RH brand... which are Racing Hart knockoffs. They're still good... but not as good as the real deal.

just curious, what is wrong with a knock off brand?

is the quality worse? is the finish going to chip or fade? wheels going to bend?

or do they all function the same, but you pay 2 or 3 times more for the name?

I wouldn't say the quality is the same, however, the knock-offs will probably suit you fine. Could the finish chip or fade over the years.... possibly... but the amount of money you'd be saving you could buy 3 sets... so you should be OK

if your going with 18s beware of bedning them if you have shittys roads by you. Ive bent 2 this yr, bc of potholes and there diablos which are knockoffs too. Great for the price but it becomes a hassle once u start bending rims
