I wasn't saying you shouldn't get them. I was just explaining why they get a bad rap over on the VW forums. Wheels mean a lot to VW owners, so they want the best from their wheels. They'd rather save for real BBS rather than settling for a lower quality version from a company that steals designs.
I can tell from quite a few feet away when a wheel is a rep based on the quality. Are they super bad? No. Are they worse than the real wheels? Most definitely. Are they gonna break right away? No. Are they weaker than the real wheels? Certainly.

then what are some good lightweight wheels, with a semi-fat lip, that i can snag for around 1500...

Advan F7s or T7s (can't remember the model name) but they're discontinued so as rare as hens teeth.

With all those wheel and tire swapping, do you guys still have the tpms? I was planning to get a set of 18's on my 2010 MCS and dont bother putting tpms but then again I know the sensor in my dash with keep coming on right?

i have kept my tpms, but i change my wheels like every 6 months, and i dont bother putting in the tpms, the light comes on and stays on, you dont even notice it (unless you're really **** about things like that), and you should be able to feel if you're running low on air, useless imo.

xxr 513 16x8 et0, they'll poke about 1 1/2" past OEM arches if you follow the same specs as mine.
