      U guys ever heard of Jline wheels?

      Have any of U guys ever heard of Jline wheels? I ran across them while I was looking to replace my 17x11 Torque Thrust II's. I have been looking for info on how good these wheels are and if they are worth the $500 per wheel. If U have any info on them (good or bad) I am intrested.
      I like the 10RL2 style for my 69 camaro. Tell me what U think.

      That might only be a problem if they are going on a daily driver and are driving at high speeds in heavy rain??

      any reverse hoop design wheel will do that.
      my 19/20 Iforged setup did it to me one rainy day, and i could not figure out what was shakin the piss outta the whole car till i stood back and thought about the lil puddles of rain in the hoops (barrels) of my wheels.
      i dried them out with towels and took it back out on the interstate and it didn't shake a bit.

      Am I crasy to think that spending that much on wheels you shouldn't have any problems at all.

      no, you are not crazy for thinking that, if i would have known....i never would have bought them.
      i think it is a problem that none of these manufacturers let potential buyers know about, which i think is wrong !
