From what I understand, most brands are good. You have to go with what you like. Mickey Thompson's are great and so are American Muscle.

Who cares what the manufacturer. Just get something that looks good, and more importantly...get something that YOU like! If you're really worried about the brand of rims, then you're only putting them on there so people knowhow much money you spent on them. I say get something that looks good and tell people to screw off if they think they're "off brand"

Only advice I give is stay with a wheel which has branding on it. There will be some wheels that have nothing on them and these usually have no warranty unless the shop selling them will warranty them. If they do then get it in writing. Most branded chrome wheels have a 1 year or longer warranty against peeling on the face and a life time warranty against the workmanship of the wheel; ie manufacture defects. Polished wheels usually have no warranty against the finish but will have a waranty against defects and painted or powdercoated wheels too have warrantys on their finish. You may pay a lot less for the unmarked wheels but its a risk that you will have to take when it comes to warranty. Keep in mind that most cast branded wheels will be offered under multiple labels. If you are looking for good brands then start with these sites. www.wheelpros.com www.wheel-1.com www.americanracing.com www.mhtwheels.com

Stay with a name brand for sure. I'll be putting some American racing rims on mine if I ever change the stockers, but that may never happen.
