Just how bad are the rims from Pepboys?

I heard such bad things about them on the internet but I'm still considering them. First off, I want something cheap. Sure I'd love Rotas or something like that but I don't have the money. I saw some very nice 18s in Pepboys the other day for like $100 a rim! They were heavy but keep in mind I couldn't care less about performance with this car. If they slow me down even more so be it. What I'm asking is are they bad quality? Will they bend easily? Thanks. :sunglasse

Hard to say without knowing more about the rims and the quality of the casting . . . in general a heavier rim is more resistant to bending. Go with a smaller wheel diameter so you don't have run a very, low-profile tire size. This will help protect the rim.
