Riken rims!! I need some advice

i was just at this plaace looking at some rims, and the guy said that he had some sweet riken ones brand new for 400 dollars. i took a look and they are black with like 50 spokes. and the center cap says riken on it. Is riken a well known brand name? I dont want to be the guy that drives the car straight outta wal mart, if you know what i mean. also, does anyone konw the riken website adress?

i could be wrong, but i think i remember reading that riken wheels went out of business a few years back. so i would question if they were "brand new" or not. but, if i am right and they are out of business, that would expalin why neither of us can find the website! hope this is right and helps - don't wanna lead ya down the wrong path to wally-world!
