I have a friend that had them on his C2. They're a little heavy, but not bad looking. He never had problems with them. The price is certainly right.

I have them. They are made by TSW for Victor Equipment to their specifications, and are lighter than my 996 Turbo OEM wheels. The people claiming to "STAY AWAY FROM THEM" are not providing information as to WHY you should... I'm all ears... I use them for the street, and they're very STRONG and have a great finish. I used them last track event after my track setup corded a tire and the Victors still look great, even after 4 25 minute sessions on track running hard.

There's my REAL LIFE assessment on the wheels, and I own them. They're a huge bargain for the buck, and I'll buy a second set for the track over the winter if I keep the car.

Just because they are inexpensive, it does not mean they are CHEAP. We sell lots of inexpensive wheels but they match OE quality. Victors are very nice looking for the money. As long as they are low pressure cast and heat treated, I'd buy them......

Smokinextreme, since you sold them, did you have any returns? Did you have any quality control issues? If you're going to make a statement like that, you have to back it up with specifics or it'll just come across as hate for a lower priced, but well made product... I don't understand the need some have to **** money away for the sake of, well, pissing money away...
