LOCO brand wheels?

Just saw these on a ricey 300ZX. The car was kinds ugly but the wheels were sweet. 17 inch, 5 spokes, and gunmetal gray. Looked pretty sharp.

Does anyone know about the quality of these or are they pieces of crap?

TIA

Team Loco is just about as low as you can get on the wheels spectrum.

on a scale from 1 to 10 on the lightweight, looks, strength, exoticness, bling factor, sizing, and options scale...i give Team Loco wheels a -58.

Thanks everyone.......... probably saved me some grief. I liked the style; 5 spokes but would prefer 7, the gunmetal gray look, etc.

Does anyone know of some high quality, good looking wheels with gunmetal gray insides.......

Thanks.

Yeah! SSR Competitions in 8.5 x 17 front, 9.5 x 17 rear; 15 lbs, 16 lbs, respectively, 42-mm for both sizes.

If you plan to run the Comps on the road they do come with pick-up truck style hub caps. I'd leave the SSR decals off...

Mine are for racing only, so the caps stay off, and decals are proudly displayed

Tire Rack pricing is $389 for 8.5 x 17, $409 for 9.5 x 17.

Rishie, ARD T2, might be able to do better--but not by much--Tire Rack offers pretty good pricing already...
