Say what you will about cheap wheels, but the Alzor's I picked up from ECS tuning look decent and were sub 500 shipped to my door. If a wheel bends it's 100 bucks give or take to get a replacement wheel.

I'm impressed by these. Perfect specs and a nice looking wheel.
A bunch of guys are running them on their Golf/GTi. I sold them a while ago but they worked for me and I've never heard anything bad about them really.

They are nice looking, but they're not flow formed and weigh in at 22.9lbs for the 19x8.5 wheel btw

Konig does offer some flow formed options as well that are sub-20 pounds. I've been eyeing the 17" ultraform for a while now. Average price seems to be about $180 per wheel.
Edit: No 57.1 centerbore listed though, so there's a consideration to be made there.

I guess I was thinking because the Neuspeed RSe102's (for example) are "only" 20lbs, in 19x8.5, that they're (slightly) heavier
Nice choice. Whats the tire setup?

Most Enkei wheels can be had to your door for <$1000. I just ordered some Enkei TY-5s and they came in at $1040 shipped. 18x8, 20.2lbs. I trust Enkei too, they have a long history of making solid wheels.

Much like BBS or OZ in the European market, Enkei is an OEM supplier to Japanese auto manufacturers. If they can build quality wheels consistently at OEM production volumes, I trust them for their aftermarket items as well.

No.
They are stamped and ECS has rep’d them for years.
They are heavy and cast though, about the same weight as factory wheels.
