Wow, 13 whole minutes before you bumped your thread. Impressive.
-do they rust - they are steel, steel rusts. That's what paint is for.
-why are they so cheap - because they are a plain steel design instead of a more expensive metal with a fancy design.
-are they good - yes
-what happens if they bend - use a hammer
-if they get scratched can u touch em up - yes

I'm a big fan largely because of the price to replace. I get quite a bit of rockrash and if I cared, I could rattle can them and be on my way. For any dents or anything, its a cheap replacement. They are heavier though. That is probably the largest downside. No rust down here in Southern AZ
EDIT: There have been some issues of 15's clearing the calipers. I run a 17"

They might not fit
People have had different experiences with the Cragar Soft 8's in a 15" rim. Some, including myself, found out that they would not clear the brake caliper. There are a ton of threads and posts on this. Use the search function and do your homework. I was definately pissed when my wheels finally came in only to find out they did not fit. I ended up going with a 16" rim.

You can also get on their email list and they send out coupons every few weeks/months for things like free shipping and/or 10-20% off your order. It ends up being like getting a 5th wheel for free.
