18" black iroc rims

Looks like you can finally buy 18" black iroc replica rims. I am glad someone did it, but kind of expensive.... Anyone bought these yet.

Re: 18" black iroc rims

I just seen those rims online and I'm very close to buying some! I found a place in LA that carries them and it seems like they'll cut me a good deal. For years I wanted something that looks closer to the stock rims but in a size 18" and man these look cool!!! My only concern is the quality and how long they will last? I called the place this morning and they said they're manufactured by a non branded company!? What do you guys think? Anybody else going to order them soon or already have the wheels installed?

Prefer these over the chrome IROC rims that seem to be everywhere.

Re: 18" black iroc rims

is it just me or are those not shaped quite right? Shouldnt the ends of the spokes be narrower than at the hub?

They look too narrow. IMO these appear to be designed to run in larger sizes to cut down on weight perhaps.
