wheels are like anything else, you pay for what you get. Go cheap, you get more imperfections, cheaper metal's and finish's. Basically its like buying a 6x9 Dual from wal-mart, then buying a 6x9 Alpine type S and expecting the same quality and performance. A Enkei or MOMO will be lighter, stronger, last longer, and be much more true then a SR Racing or some bull**** like that. I've seen brand new wheels (Raceline brand to be exact) that had bends, pits, minor weld seems, and spots on the red pinstripe totally missing, my shop also payed about $82 a wheel for a 18x8, so there ya go and i hope this helps!
