Why do people think they're cheap and crappy? If anyone knows of some other lightweight quality rims fell free to suggest, but they must be lightweight

The seven spokers if you can't get fives - six spokes belong on ship's helms and 4WDs.

PS Bob Jane have just released a new series of wheels - light weight and strong - they have the same rating as OE rims. I had a look at the "Tremor" in 18x8 on Saturday and they looked great on my car in Shadow Chrome - my car is Silhouette. These wheels BTW are made by Koya so are not crap. About $240 each I was quoted.
