Default Custom wheels by Ultima are they quality?

On my search for a 21" for my SG I found a nice wheel made by Ultima (see picture attached). The price is very competetive, that's why I may have my doubts about quality and finish of the wheel. I did a lot of search on the net for reviews of this wheel but couldn't find any (only from their laced wheels, which seems to be not to bad). Anyone has any experience with ultima custom wheels don't mind the size or whatever, but am realy interested in quality. It's being sold by Jireh and some ebay sellers.

For as far as I am thinking, what might be wrong with a CNC machined wheel, whter it's made in the US or maybe for that price in China.

I prefer the powdercoat black one, but as for this price I don't know what will be the quality of the finish I'm doubting between buying the polished one and let it anodize deep black. What's your opinion on this?

Another option I am thinking about is to pot an enforcer wheel in my SG although I have to update to Brembo lines or machine the roto to 11.5". Although I think I definately prefer the 21" front. Especially for such an atrractive price.

I pulled the trigger and I have to admit that at first glance they look very nice. Hope it will look nice under my SG. Have ordered Metzeler M888 and will give it a good layer of protection before installing it to keep the contrast cut as new. Can't wait to see it in front of my bike.
