I don't particularly like the look of the Saltas, but then I'm not hot on spoked wheels in general. I don't like the Pintlers either. I have the argent Savegres and am very happy with them. They are an extremely strong wheel and, in my opinion, look great. Could I have bought cheaper wheels? Sure! So what? I also have the AEV lift and think it's about as perfect as it gets. Could I have bought a cheaper lift? Sure. So what? There's always some bitter individual on the internet eager to sling vengeful mud and insist that you take your business elsewhere. The same with Rigid and JW Speaker lights. Could I have bought cheaper lights? Sure. So what? Could I have bought something "better" in each case. Perhaps, but that is highly debatable. Every single quality brand out there has its detractors. I do extensive research in each case and buy quality gear that I feel will fit my needs the best. So far, I've been extremely happy with every single "high end" equipment purchase, on this vehicle and every other vehicle I've owned through the years. The only times I've had problems is when I went the el cheapo route. In my experience, paying a few dollars more often saves headaches (and perhaps dollars) later. If you like the look of the Saltas and can afford them, go for it. "Better" is often a highly subjective term.
