If you don't care for big wheels...
Thanks for the kind words (and restraint), guys.
Well, I was disappointed (but not surprised) to finally get the rims and discover they were made in... wait for it... China. But what did I expect for $175 each? That said, they seem to be well-made.
Before the purchase, I spoke to a few folks who already had them, and no one I talked to seemed to have any quality issues or major complaints.
The only real downsides are that they are lug-centric, rather than hub-centric, and since they are drilled for (but not designed for) the 4" bolt pattern, the lug nuts are tight and a little challenging to get each one started. These two factors mean more finesse and patience during installation.
Here's a couple more pics. Pardon my lack of photography skills, and my inability to figure out how to upload them larger/higher res. FWIW, they look great in Photobucket...
