I only looked at this wheel - did not buy for several reasons:
1. The wheel is cast and not forged. Cast=heavy
2. Made in China.
I've decided to go with either Weld Wheels or Centerline - both are forged and US made.

I liked them online until I saw them in person. I live on Long Island and with plenty of rain and snow I was concerned about the nucks an crannies around the rim too many places for water sand and dirt to sit and start breaking up the finish. I chose a rim with a smoother line. With that said it is a good looking rim and as far as made in china, well most aftermarket rims are, sad to say.

i almost bought some but there was too much chrome on them and i was suspect on the quality. i went with fuel revolvers. see too many "spoke" wheels out there for me.

I Like Tires
I love my ATX Artillery wheels.
As to comments above I can assure you they are not of poor quality even though they are from china. I have had them for 3+ years and the chrome is not pitting like a lot of cheap chrome wheels after just a year. Also yes they are cast but with an 18x9 coming in at 31lbs as opposed to my stock 20x8.5 coming in at 45lbs I would say they are fairly light as they are much thicker aluminum and much stronger than the stock wheels.
Never seen any ATX with a cracked spoke, seen plenty of XDs with cracked spokes.
Also I see Fuel's all the time in my work, so I like the ATX cuz you don't see them as often. But if you need a super wide rim Fuel's are the way to go, they are just too common like XDs for my taste.
