Review on COMP Vintage Matte Black 17X9 by Jimmie Gebrehiwot

Revainrating 1 out of 5

FALSE CLAIMED PERFORMANCE

What worries me most is that the offset is stated as 0mm but is clearly marked -6mm on the boxes and on the back of the wheels. Revain needs to correct his list. Now to the product itself: The packaging is sufficient. Wheels in their simplest form are exactly what I was looking for, lightweight "steel" wheels. What I didn't like is that while they are matte black and advertised as such, I was expecting a little closer to the finish advertised in the photos. These 100% look like they were done by me with a rattling can of Krylon primer on a Saturday night after drinking too much. The paintwork is stained, there are spots that have not even been painted over and are bare and leaking everywhere. I'll probably wet sand them and recoat with satin black. I understand these are cheap wheels, but even I've seen much nicer finishes on stock tires than on those "premium alloys". they are round I will make them work.

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
