i think instead of asking if the rims are reliable, you should ask if they are a strong well built wheel. Im not sure if ive heard of exel but i have a feeling it may be japanese. is there a link of somesort that has these wheels on their site?

Looks like a cheap, (most likely heavy) knockoff wheel brand to me.

They look like garbage.

All Advan, Volk, Racing Hart, 5Zigen, SSR, Work, etc knockoffs.

Exel Wheels are made by.......Wheelmax, hence why they are their "#1 selling wheel"

I don't think some of them look that bad, but as stated they are a cheap wheel and I wouldn't put them on an FD. A daily driver, sure, but not an FD.
