Concept One wheels feedback?

What's the general feedback on Concept One wheels for those who run them on their cars? I am interested in a set of their wheels, but I've seen some bad publicity about quality of the wheels a while back (2012). Anyone have experience with these?

There's a reason folks don't run them...keep looking, there are better options out there.

Any suggestions? I've only ran OEM or well known brand wheels in the past with excellent results (Enkei, Borbet), but that was in the mustang days. What about Niche or Avant Garde?

Enkei...good
Everything else...not so good.
Any style in particular you're looking for?

Something in the 6 spoke variety or a really nice 5 spoke would look cool too. Something to make car wheels look wider, like most of these have really aggressive offset.

Just got some Wedsport 18s (these will clear Akebonos) and Jason at GetyourWeels has some nice deals. These are light, made in Japan, have a nice deep concave, great finish.

Nice looking wheels. Wonder if they have them in staggered size. I want a little more tire in the back since the car is prone to oversteer.

They have them in 8.5, 9.5, 10.5, the 8.5s have a flatter face and the 10.5s have super deep concave. The 10.5 offsets are pretty aggressive though, more for a aggressive coupe. You could also run 245s in front and 275s in back on the same 9.5" widths to give you the staggered treadblocks. Weds has quite a few models though, here's their home page
WedsSport « Weds Wheels North America
Each wheel design when you click on it has a pdf spec sheet you can download

Low-pressure cast wheels that weigh about the same as OE according to a new vendor. I like the CSL 5.5 but not at OE weight.

So, I spoke to Jason at GetYourWheels.com, and he said that AG wheels are pretty good usually, people are very happy with them. M550s look really good on this car. Another thing I'm also on the lookout for are 370Z 19 inch Rays and G37S coupe 19 inch Enkeis

Don't forget the older 19" G35 Sedan Rays, they aren't as wide but still very nice, light & strong.
