They should work fine. Like most affordable wheels, they are Chinese cast construction with clear coat. Remember that when you clean them-it's just like cleaning and polishing the body of your car-you are not polishing metal.

More importantly, did you get an alternate set of tires?

Nice looking wheels. Just remember to look them over frequently for cracks/defects. After all... they are Made In China.

Just received the last piece of the Hotchkis Race Pack Suspension. Quality brand name... made in the USA. But I didn't know they made wheels.

Don't know about Sumi. I went with General GMax and I'm very pleased with them.
