Default Icon Rims?



Ok, I saw these rims at a local store (Pep Boys kinda place). They are cheap like 230 something a rim (Canadian) for 17s so 16s should be cheaper and come in the right size for my civic plus they are pretty light. I want to run 16s and I think these things look really nice in bronze.

Now to my problem, I searched and found that they are made by APC Does anyone have any information on these rims? Are they any good, strong? Give me any info you have.

My friend has a feeling that there's no way in hell that APC makes these rims but who knows.
I'm trying to find a set that looks like them in 16X7, Konig Traffics are similar but are 15x6.5 and 17x7

both arospeed and velox make these rims, but they also feature it with a polished lip.
I honestly would like to know who makes APC rims, i bet we'd be suprised if we found out who truly made them.

i am pretty sure velox and arospeed wheels are made in the same manufacturing plant

How about Konig Heliums in bronze? They are light weight too.
