Breyton Race GTS-R Opinons for e92 montego blue

Need new wheels and it is between some CSL reps and these Breyton's. Lot's of info and pics for the CSL reps, but not much on here for these Breyton's. What's your opinons? Specs seem real good and reasonably priced for a staggered setup.

I was looking at this same package before i got mine... I think it will look great(Matte Blk)... However, i did also read on there the Breytons dent easily.

I also heard they were durable. But they are very light for a fairly inexpensive wheel.

they're gravity cast and lighter than some low/high pressure cast wheels.

less material, the weakest casting method (weaker than OEM), and from my experience, a very weak and brittle aluminum alloy... not a recipe for a durable wheel.

if you live anywhere without glassy smooth roads, skip them. i bent/cracked 3 in about a month in NYC. gave up and wrote them off. got a set of VMR V715s.
none of the same problems, and i havent moved out of NYC
