I've heard of them, they are big on the import scene. Mostly for Honda/Acura. My other car is a Subaru, and they aren't so popular with that community. I haven't heard of any quality problems, but they have a reputation for being on the heavy side. I would lurk on a few Honda/Acura forums if you wanted to find out more.
Do they actually have vette sizes?

from their site
Motegi Racing is a line of performance wheels that are available in a variety of finishes and sizes to best suit your high performance vehicle needs. All our wheels go through some of the most stringent testing in the wheel industry, so that we can insure your satisfaction with both the styling as well as the quality of the wheel.
The name Motegi was derived from the city of Japan where the Twin Ring Motegi circuit is located. We are a strong supporter of various drag racing, drifting and road racing teams, and continue to focus on producing high quality wheels. Our wheels have crashed into walls at drift events at over 80 MPH and have competed on road race courses at speeds exceeding 100 MPH, and continue to perform flawlessly. Our motorsports division is a real life extension of our already stringent engineering and R&D standards. If our wheels can withstand the rigors of motorsports testing, they are certainly safe enough for you and your family.

I have seen some bad motegi wheels before. Never the track versions but a few that got broken and one that was bent right out of the box. Personally I dont trust them farther than i can throw them. Which isnt very far because they are pretty heavy!
