supposedly they are a chinese brand that is a copy of the Volks. Cast not forged. though the weight penalty doesn't seem to be too bad. 11lbs vs 8lbs.

This guy is using them on his DP car. Should be reliable.

It's a japanese offset though. A 15 x7 wheel on an e30 should have only a ET20 - Et27. These wheels have an ET38.

If you look closely at the installed pictures, you can barely see the spacers they have on there.

Thank you for bringing a well thought out and reasoned comment to the discussion. I'm always up for a thoughtful discussion of semantics.
