Fujimi Aftermarket Wheels - Good or Bad?

Hi guys,
I'm about to start either an S15 or an S2000 drift/track style project, and of course I want to use aftermarket wheels. My local hobby shop only sells Fujimi wheel sets, but I'm not too sure of their quality. I have built a Fujimi Nismo R32 before, are the aftermarket wheels the same quality as the kit wheels? Are they really worth $20 Aus? Maybe I should just find someone that sells Aoshima! Also, has anyone used Fujimi mufflers before?
I like the looks of the Yokohama Model 7 set for an S15 or Veilside Marriott for an S2000!
Thanks for looking

Both you mentioned look great.

Veilside Marriott => 18inch scale

A large amount of kit built here have Fujimi or Aoshima rims fitted. No problems just check the size, 17 and below look wrong in most cases IMO.

Have a look at www.hlj.com, you can get the Fujimi and Aoshima wheels for ~$15 including postage to Australia (Im in perth) for one set. It works out to about ~$30-40 to get a kit and a set of wheels which is pretty good considering you would pay about $50-60 here
