Montegi Track anyone?

Hi there,

Has anyone experience with Montegi Tracks 18" +45' s ?
They look interesting for my DS/DS.
Have not seen them here yet, are they crap?

From what I hear, Motegi's are pretty good wheels. I just wish they made their tracklite 2.0's in sizes smaller than 18".

the regular trak-lites (1.0 I guess) are available in 17x7, my wife has them on her mini and they are awesome. They look great, and the performance increase from dropping the S-heavies and going to the 14.3 lbs traklites was truly a revelation!

I love that they are called "touge" and yet are 18 inchers at the same time. Who in their right mind would run 18s on a touge?

Unless they're forged Montegis they're going to be heavy.
