The fact that they just work is what's best about them. All the looks without the hassle of rolling arches. Doesn't even need spigot rings because the bolt holes have angles :D

The only down point to them is that you'll need to hold onto the wheel tight, they will start to pull to one side if you hit uneven ground but it's nothing major, steering remains light. I once let go on a private road to see if it would pull all the way and it will continuously pull left then right then left again, the car still goes in a straight line. The other thing is at full lock they will rub against your mud flaps but again, not a massive deal.

I think the tramlining is just down to the width of the wheel/tyre... kinda unavoidable really, I remember mine behaving similarly with 7" wide wheels on 195's
