I would love it if you asked the seller about these certifications. I'd be very interested to hear what they say.

About certifications.... mmmhhh.. ISO 9001, well that only indicates that all they make is with the same quality either good or bad, just all equal, I know several compnies with that certification that make bad stuff, so it is not so trustable, maybe the other certifications may be a good idea to check, but ISO 9001 I would not trust that one.

JWL, VIA and TUV are the certifications that you should be concerned about.

My new 19s that are perfect and balanced perfect came from eBay for 640 bux. Wheels and caps was the company. If I scuff one I will not be upset. Don't be afraid. Just go for it.

Judging the quality of a wheel by how tires were mounted and their cost is like judging the suitability of a wife by the method in which she puts on the earrings she got in her Cracker Jacks.

I am happy with my purchase. And that is all I have to say.

I once found myself in a similar paradox, whereby my fifth wife loved to eat Cracker Jacks in bed, however, she would never allow me to buy the wheels that I wanted for my boxster. What would Freud say about that ?

They look great. The wheel strength is important to confirm but unless you're going to track it, I see no need to fret about the weight.
