falken or diablo wheels

I wanted to get either lowenhart BR5's and LD'1 for my black 2003 TL-s.
Since I live in the city and will likely bang my rims up at some point, I decided to get knock offs.
Diablo makes the Vienna which is like the LD1...
Falken makes the Torque 5 which is like the BR5...

Anyone know which is a better quality wheel? Which do u think looks better?

i hear the diablo's suck pretty bad...

I got the Katana Spazio's, their a knock off of the LD-1's and so far they have been great... the chrome job isnt as good as LD-1s of cource but they are still very very nice!

i hear diablos bend to easy and the face is real delicate... i dunno, just what i heard.

I like those choices as well, but the Falken is 18x7 offset 42 (or 18x8 offset 35!)...will those even fit our car?

those offset will NOT fit our cars....general rule of thumb
18x7.5 need at least a +45 offset
19> need at least a +50 offset

Whatever the heck ya do, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT get Diablo wheels! They are cheap azz hell and the chrome wheels I had peeled within 2 weeks. Called the place to get a new set, they told me to pretty much go to hell. I dealt with Dynamic Wheel and Tire, they are a straight ripoff! Go to bbbonline and you can do a search on them. Horrible. But again, don't get Diablo wheels
