Matters to me...damn skippy.I know I have very little control about offshore content in my car but when I do,I always specify US-made parts whenever possible.Hence the fact I sold all my off-shore wheels and now only run American-forged wheels on my American-made cars.

DocJr,

Forget metal,structure,weight,or price...

Biggest thing I would consider if I were you would be the stance and the overall look you're trying to achieve...that should be first,foremost and paramount in your decision making.

Without proper stance and wheels,you have nothing...regardless of what caliber of car you have.

That being said,you will never achieve that killer fat lip-look with the off-shore wheels you mentioned because they A) do not offer proper widths for our cars and B) they don't offer custom backspacing to set the wheel where you want to...to acheive that look you want.

Plan and simple.Do you want the look...or do you just want to settle...based on price?

Save a little longer if need be,deal with someone reputable and experienced like Jon Henson @ www.driverzinc.com and you'll never,ever regret your purchase and take that from someone who has purchased a set or two...
