Nakayama wheels, junk or ok?

I am looking to get a diferent wheels for my CL and I really like the optional wheels for the 04 TL. So I found a "look a-like" set from a company called Nakayama. There are so many wheels out there anymore I can never tell which are junk. So I cant post the pics, but below are two of the wheels that I am coincidering.

Which do you think?

Found them for 179.00 each. With no shipping. Good deal or can I do better?

Anyone know a similiar looking wheel?

I used to have Nakayama wishbones on my 2dr accord. In all honesty rims are rims at that price range.

I have 17" Nakayama GT-R's (SSR GT1 replicas).

I have a 1st gen and couldn't find the SSR's in a 4 bolt, so the Nakayama's were a good alternative.

I like mine alot. It's a great rim for the price.

You can click my WWW button to see some pics.

Depends on what you compare them to I guess.
Compared to Volk, they're crap.
Compared to Konig, they're equal.
