Are these any good?

Hey guys, i was planning on buying some rims for my car and these cought my attention.



there velox vx-6r, i kinda like the look, gunmetal w/chrome lip and i love 6 spokers. is velox a reputable company? anyone have any info on these if theyve had em or know anything about em? there 16.5 lbs a wheel AT 17 inches, which is what im looking for.

this is from there website Velox Performance :

"vx-6r
The VX-6 R is the wheel for the enthusiast who seek minimum weight for minimum price. This wheel maintains a 16.5 lb weight while at the same time sacrfice nothing to the 690kg that often is not maintained to achieve this low weight. Thanks to advanced casting techniques, this wheel truly qualifies as the newest addition to the Competition series."

thx guys

how much are they then i will tell you if they are worth the money.

at 16.5 pounds there are lighter rims out there but if they are pretty cheap it may be a good deal. (Konig Heliums are like 12 pounds or something crazy like that and can be had for like 540-680 depending on where you go for a set of 4).

Those look nice in my opinion. Make sure the offset is correct.

btw, do they make a 16" rim? I might want to replace my 19 lb Motegis.

i think they do do 16", from what i think i remember, i read that they come in 16, 17, and 18. i saw an ad for a rim/wheel company in sport compact car and they were selling these rims, 17", w/tires, free shipping for i think 699 or maybe 799, i gotta find that ad again and see what company
