stay away from the flix's. Lots of people hating on them. Anadozing coming off after 6 months and reports of severe bends from pot hole hits

Well, at least with the Flik wheels, they're cheap to replace if something happens. Cheap enough even, to just take some Krylon to if they get scratched...especially easy if you get the black ones. Lol.

But here are more pics I found...

I still like them for cheap wheels. They're similar to the rims I ended up getting...but only 1/4 the $$$.

I'm in the market too for some wheels, and I've been crusing yahoo.jp auctions. If you know what you're looking for and know the currency conversion, you can get some wheels for a steal. Biggest thing is you need to find someone who can import them for you and handle things for you.

Buddy did just this now 2x. I forgot what outfit did it for him, but his first set were SSR Reverse Meshes in near perfect condition (one has a little curb rash, the rest are fine) and now this week a set of Work's. The auction itself you can sometimes get great deals, but it's the shipping can kill ya.

Whatever you do, don't buy on impulse! Research, research research!

And, my .02, I wouldn't go Rota either.

I've had my flik wheels for... about 8 months now. Only one has ever bent.... I hit potholes a lot because of the area and I drive a lot for work (~20k miles in a year).

I love my wheels - Nobody else I know of has them on the tC.
