    I did a search but couldn't find anything on it so does it mean it's not a good brand?or I didn't do a good job on searching about it.

    This is a picture of Stern ST-1 Face III Beast(hope the picture works)

    I saw it on a car (1.8T B6) at the dealership with 19 x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear. It looked really good. Im about to sell my rims to do the same setup soon.

    Don't buy them dude. My friend bought them from Volco in October '06 for his 350z. By December '06 the lips were all pitted from the salt. He took em back and they gave him some foose wheels instead and they're fine but the even said they were a little surprised at the finish. Very cheaply made. Looks like just a thin chrome plated lip.

    those are pretty sick, is there a side shot? do the spokes bend out or are they flat

    Volco isn't bad but it's usually cheaper to order from the states (tire rack, etc) or take a cruise down to Seattle and pick something up there. Portland's even better....no sales tax

    of all the sterns those are the worst face design...
    i have a wholesale connection for them in santa clara...stern wheels are produced by golden apple in hayward right by me...
    heres the site...

    heres the two legit designs...



    and yes they are cheap, but doesnt mean there bad wheels either...any wheel will bend depending on how you drive it...some more then others

    im sorry, but in now way do these look cheap

    yes they are inexpensive and fake 3-piece...but they look quality as in finish and style...

    im not even an owner or huge fan of stern, but they are a good low budget rim
