Don't want to install complete junk though. Won't save much money if the wheel breaks apart and sends the car flying into a wall.

Thanks for all your help guys.
I wish that were the case, but in the day and age of the internet, profit margins on common parts like Enkeis are tiny.

A good set of tires will cost almost the same as a set of Enkeis, and cost more than a set of Rotas.

In fact, your OEM tires will cost more than a set of Enkeis, and the price of 1 OEM rim can buy a full set of cheap knockoff wheels (XXR, Varstoen, etc).
