What's wrong with these wheels?

I'm just asking what the obvious probs are. I think sometimes peeps get wrapped up in $1k/each wheels, and prior to the 993, I always had SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper wheels.
I wouldn't buy unseen via eBay, but don't think I need to spend $4k either.

Offsets are common, widths are common, but it's the 5x130 that kills availability. Most of the <20lb 17 and 18 inch wheels that every Subaru and Nissan owner gets to enjoy for $200 more or less can't accommodate the wide bolt pattern. We pay more for the vendors going to the minor trouble to make the right size.

"Casted" wheels? I think they mean "cast." Jeez.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Those are butt-*** ugly rimz. If someone's gonna get those, he should give himself a complete douchebag makeover to go with them.

Yeah, the chrome was over the top...made me laugh. The brushed aren't as bad, but still bling. I didn't post the Q well...I just meant in general what makes some of the cheaper rims so much cheaper than some of the other brands. The comment about the lower volume and special pattern on the 911 makes sense.
