They're not perfect, some scratches and abrasions but nothing big. Can't see them unless your trying to. They still have a sweet shine to them. Couldn't beat $250 for the set, rims and tires.

I think billet, but what's the difference and how can you tell which one it is?

spun rims start with a flat alum sheet & spun to a template....billet starts with a block of alum and turned...then there always are cast they are poured....you generally tell by touching the inside and outside to see how thick they are....spun will be smooth on both sides but thin...billet will be smooth on both sides, quite thick in some spots...cast smooth on 1 side course on the inside & thin...then there are always forged rims

this is a billet rim...must be a 1/2" thick...turned and slots milled

This is a cast rim...tough but not as thick as the billet..

yeah, they must be billet. Very thick, 1/2" sounds about right.
