I bought these wheels because I hit a nasty pothole and bent the stock wheels on my 2005 Acura TL. Instead of paying big money for stock replacements, or even half of that for 3rd-party stock replicas, I bought these wheels for about 1/4 the price as genuine Acura wheels.

They seem like a decent quality wheel for general use. I probably wouldn't put racing compound tires on them and take them around Road America, but nor would I with any cheapie cast-wheel. I've had them on over a month now, and they are fine for daily driving, and the look great without being too flashy (I know, looks are subjective.)

Two things that should be noted:
1) They require an acorn style tapered lugnut. Also, the hole the lugs drop into is deep and very narrow. You'll need a very thin-wall deep-socket wrench to put them on, or just do what I did and get a set of spline-drive lugs.
2) The hub is 72.6mm diameter. My TL's hub is 64.1mm. They will mount without a spacer/adapter, and supposedly if you tighten the lugs in a star-pattern correctly, they will be fine. I tried and could not get the wheels to remain perfectly centered, and experienced vibration around 50mph. I would re-torque the wheels (up on a jack, so there's no load on the wheels) and it would fix the problem for a day or so. Then the wheels would slip ever so slightly over time and start vibrating again. My solution was to buy a set of cheap plastic hub-spacers off ebay. They've been on a couple weeks and the vibration has not come back, even though I have not yet performed the standard aluminum-wheel re-torque after 100 miles.

I gave this product 5 stars, because for what they are, they are perfect. They are not Forgelines or BBSs, so don't expect a featherweight, indestructible racing wheel. Expect a decent quality set of rims that will look great on your daily driver.

The rims are nice and fit, but just barely. They might have an 1/8th inch between the brake rotor and rims. However, they don't tell you that you need thin lugnuts to fit down in the rims, that will cost you another 35 bucks on top of the final price.
