What do you think about "Manaray VR5" wheels?

I was wondering what every one thinks about the "Manaray VR5" wheels? Did anyone order them from acura-tl.com recently?
If yes, how do you like them?

If anyone has picture of the VR5 on their TL or any other car, can you post them?

My main concern is wheels bending. VR5 wheels are only 23 pounds and for 18" wheels, that is pretty light. I asked Cuong at
acura-tl.com to see if the VR5 wheels were forged and he told me that they were not which means that the wheel could be weak since they are light and not forged.

Please post your experiance, thoughts and opinion about the VR5.

Also if you have any pic's of VR5 wheels on any car
(preferably TL), it will be greatly appreciated.

Thumbs up VR5's are TIGHT!!

I considered them for a while when I was wheels shopping. It was either them or the BR5's that I got. I decided on the BR5's. Only because the spokes are a little bit thicker. And I have read a lot about the quality of Lowenhart.

I don't have any experience with Manaray, and I haven't found much literature on them; but from pure looks, the VR5's are bad ass!

Those VR5's are awesome. I would've got those but had already purchased my CL-s rims.

I don't think those are the Manaray Vector VR5 I was talking about.

Here is a website with Manaray Vectort VR5.

I didn't want to wait, and I was after a higher offset. I definitely like the look of them.
