Just make sure you buy them from a "reputable" dealer who is known to have good quality

Just ordered these with DT350 hubs from china for R8k..seller marked package down to $89, so will see what the damage is at customs. Hoping for under R1k.

there shouldnt be any issues with customs. You will just pay vat on it, basically 25% of the invoice value.

Spend a little more and you could grab these:

These are really great, owned a set myself and I'm positive that other hubbers can vouch for this brand and model range...cannot obviously comment on condition/use of this specific set.

 

Not certain if your budget is for new or used set of wheels.

Great wheels at a great price.Saw the ad myself and if I was in the market I would go for these
