Never heard of these wheels, Evoke....any opinions?

One day, I was driving through Lawrence, KS, trying my best to not get lost and drove over this enormous pothole. The right passenger wheel was bent, but the tire still maintained pressure. I got home later on that night and emailed the guy who handles the eBay Evoke sales and he quoted me a replacement price of $100/wheel, shipped, which is a pretty good replacement price. So, in the event that something does happen to your wheel, at least you won't have to pay an arm and a leg to have it replaced, and it will be done in a timely matter. When I ordered my Evoke set it arrived within that same week.

how is that a good deal? $100/wheel for a no-name brand is good?

For a 17" wheel with shipping included, yes, I think so. Besides, this isn't a "new" company. They've been selling hundreds of these wheels for at least 4yrs now. I've known a few others on the Suzuki forum who purchased these wheels and had no problems. Just because YOU haven't heard of them doesn't make them junk. I think they are a viable option. However, I have never purchased tires from them. For tires, you definitely do want to go with a trusted name.
