Yay or Nay???
I like these wheels and the price is just right. Just need some opinions. They'll be 18" if I order 'em. Cant afford 19s just yet. 
Yes? No?

Uh hold on...
*edit*
They dont have the wheel weight listed, sux. But they do have this:
COLOR HYPER SILVER DARK, Model EVO, Made by HP DESIGN wheels, size 18x8 , bolt pattern 5x114.3 with a 38 offset.
Will they even fit on my 8?

I really like the design. someone else just bought them and i'm waiting for him/her to post pics on the site. HP design sell really inexpensive wheels so i dont know if they bend easy, heavy, etc. even there homepage is pretty ghetto. there are tons of sellers on ebay that sell this particular wheel model and dont even call the brand out in there listing. as far as looks go, i like it..

look nice but I wouldn't put any wheels that are heavier than stock...maybe you should wait till someone gets em and scales it up......It's your money
I like the looks of them

The weight isn't really a big factor for me, unless it's a dramatic weight gain then I'll say, "screw these rims!" But I like the design of the spokes and especially the price. :D

Keep in mind the pic of the rim used was at a slight angle and behind the rim should be darker then it is in this chop.
Also considering these. Only thing i don't like about the Evo's is talk about time consuming to clean.

Where are you buying them? Did you see anything about a warranty? I emailed the guy and asked the weight and warranty but no response yet.
Just got the response. 24 lbs each and 1 year manufacturers warranty.

If you like the style, and you are on a budget, which you are, go for it.
I'd say nay just because of the weight alone. If I were in your shoes, I'd save that $700 for when I can afford better, lighter wheels. If only they were 17-18 lbs, and $700...ah that would be too good to be true. Good luck deciding!

It's a great price, but in some cases you get what you pay for. Guess the rims aren't really my style either. I say wait and get some classier ones, bbs, or volks if you like that style.

I really looking around for rims right now. These will be the #1 pick until I find something else I like. These are looking mighty good right now tho. 
There's some other ones I have in mind but i dont now yet. We'll see. I really appreciate all the input guys, thanks again.
