Victor Equipment Wheels

Does anybody have any feedback on these wheels? I have found a few good deals for the Lemans style of this brand on the used market. Front 18x8 45 off-set, rear 18x9.5 49 off-set. I'm not even sure they would fit without spacers and I don't know if they weigh a ton. But I think they look pretty good. Any feedback is helpful.

I've also wondered about these wheels too. I see them advertised monthly in Excellence Magazine, but haven't seen much buzz about them anywhere.

Bump. I'm in the market for wheels and victor is in my price range. Some of their wheels are "rotary forged". It's kind of a mix of cast and forged.

Several folks over on Rennlist in the Racing and DE section have posted that Victor wheels suffered catastrophic failure.

They are probably fine if you are just going to drive around on the street, but I wouldn't take them to the track.

I have those wheels on mine. PIA to clean. And I don't know much about wheels, but I was under the impression that Victor Equipment wheels where higher end aftermarket wheels. I think they only make wheels for Porsches.
