Default Anyone Heard of These?

I was looking on Tire Rack and found a set of wheels I think would look good on my 01 SS. They're made by Platinum, never heard of the brand, wondered if anyone knew anything or had experience with these? Here's a link to the set I like, going on to a Navy Blue 01 Monte SS

Never heard of the brand. It's Chinese, cheap to purchase. Will last a while I'm sure

How ironic you saw those....by Platnium...
I just visited my local belle tire store for my 3 month balance and free rotation....and they had a set on the wall...

Im just curious...whats the quality reliability on a set of those?...
I guess they have to be somewhat reliable etc.. if belle tire is puttn there
reputation behind them?

stay away from cheep china rims. I bought some and a year later I had to paint them black because the clear coat started to chip off and they started looking like crap. If you never heard of them there is a reason for that.

Keep doing research until your brain hurts. These are going to be a main feature on your car that people notice. So make sure the quality is good and check the warranty. Like I said search the net until your brain hurts and even local shops

You may like these similar wheels from Diamo, just started making these in the Monte bolt pattern, Discount Tires has them, not too expensive and I picked up some 18". Have the rivets also.
