Fondmetal rims

Has anyone heard of this company? Any thoughts on this rim? Fit, finish, concerns?

It is available in a 5x108. Size I am looking at is 20x10

I considered their STC-01 before settling on my VerdeForms VFF-02
Fitment Industries carries that brand - that is where I came across them initially.

For the 20x10 - what offset? And what tire section width?

those wheels are 100 bucks each for 20x10...seems like a killer deal

I had used their wheels in the early 2000's on a BMW. They were fine until I ran over a 2x4 on the highway (small piece fell off a truck in front of me and I didn't have time to swerve to miss it). The wheel was bent, no other damage to the car.
They are ok for the price.

Are they rated for the weight of the vehicle? Driving an EV that heavy you can't just put on any wheel with the correct bolt pattern.

Anyway. I do love the look of them so hopefully they are rated for the Mach-E.

They are not.

The 20x9 5x108, for instance, shows load rating of 1235. Our vehicle, unloaded, weighs right at the load rating of the wheels.

IMO, We should be selecting nothing but flow formed or fully forged wheels with load ratings of 1600+ at the least.

This was the information I came for. Thanks for that.
