I looked at a set there before I bought mine. I believe they were cragar pro-stars..They were pretty cheap but once I asked how long it took to get them in and they said that there company who they go through for wheels are very slow and it could take up to 4 months to get them..I was like, um..no thanks..

Wheels aren't just wheels. If so they would all the be the same price. But why is it a Momo wheel cost 3 times more than a wheel just like it (the copy). Wheels sell because of style, weight, and the name on them.
