I got a set from Scooter about four years ago. They are fantastic wheels and really help the car's suspension perform - half the unsprung weight as the oem steel wheels. I had all five.

IMO bundt wheels look like caca on a car that didn't come with them. The painted to match wheel covers are a beautiful thing.

My car has now been sold with them on it.

Just an FYI - I spent a couple of years struggling with removing front wheels that were free-spinning until I discovered that a breaker bar and a 1/2" 17mm socket on the breaker bar work just fine for starting a lug bolt by using the bar to start the wheel spinning 1/4 turn in the tighten direction and then suddenly yanking on the breaker in the loosen direction. A couple of jolts like that frees up the bolts. Kind of like an impact wrench doesn't require the wheel to be locked... Makes it easy for one person to remove a wheel.
