The wheels look ghetto. They are probably built in some shady Chinese factory with little to no regulations.

The website itself looks like it was made by a blind kid in an intro to computer programming class. The sentences aren't even grammatically correct and words are misspelled. I mean, come on lol. This company seems to be a complete joke.

A quick search yielded this:

http://www.complaintsboard.com/compl...a-c418488.html

Not sure how credible the source is, but it's something to think about.

The overwhelming majority of cheap wheels are made in either China or Taiwan. That alone doesn't mean that they are of bad quality, but in this case, I will bet anything that they are.

Ultimately, you will do what you want, but don't tell me that I didn't warn you.

China or Taiwan.

Like I said, unless we are talking about really high end wheels (e.g., BBS, Volk, WedsSport, Neez, Work, etc...), you can bet that most wheels are coming from China or Taiwan. Just buy some wheels from a vendor. If they crack or bend, the vendors are more likely to help you get a replacement for free or a discount (depends on the situation, though) as opposed to some random company.

If you really like the design and want to get rid of your fear of damaged wheels. Ride your current set up until its done and at the same time save up for the set you really want.

I like sc-5 but if it's not worth the risk I'd go with vossen or check out iconz, dpe wheels with similar design.

Vossen are overpriced for cast wheels

Update, 323motor sport is a sister company of Vertini. The wheels are manufactured in Taiwan and they come with a life time structrual warranty which I will get the documentation for it shortly. I did call Vertini and they confirmed everything 323motor stated... Who knows, at this point I am moving forward and will do a review after a few months.

As of today they are still on the #@$#@$ container and they are now telling me another two weeks! WTF man.. I guess I ll wait another two weeks but remember to pay your deposit because there are clearly not many of them on the ship. To what I understand only about 15 sets :-(

All silver and matte black are in stock I think.
It's the black window machine face that's tough to get.
I'm waiting over 1.5mos as of now.
