How "good" can these wheels be for $400?
Was thinking of replacing the wheels on the TT.
I can't imagine these are very good for $400. Anyone with Exel/Wheelmax experiences? What do you think of these on a black coupe?
BTW, I'm looking any of the three.

if you are looking for good yet inexpensive wheels...
try <a href="http://www.edgeracing.com" target="_blank">http://www.edgeracing.com</a>. I know plenty of people on here have them and several local guys I know have them. Some use them as dedicated track wheels and haven't had any issues. I have had my Flik Wasp wheels for over a year and they have seen their fair share of rough roads and track use and have held up perfectly. The clear coat on the polished lip has eaten away a little because I put them up last winter coated in brake dust and never cleaned them. Totally my fault.

On a whim, I ordered a set of the twin spoke DL46's and they got sent back.......
Was not sure if they would fit over my Stoptechs, so I said what the hell, ordered a set.
When they got here they were drilled for 5x100 and 5x114, even though the wheels I wanted did not say that or the pictures show that. I decided to fit one, but a)they would not clear the stoptechs unless one used about a 45mm spacer, b)I could not fit a socket into the holes to tighten the lug bolts.
Back in the box and back to them.
I was not going to keep them, because the quality was low and the mispresentation on their website.
Hear's a hint. Tell them you want to send them back and they will offer you another $100 to keep them.
