I did buy them new and have seem almost strictly autox/track duty since I've had them, but my friend needed a set of wheels for daily driving temporarily and it's in those conditions that the wheel cracked, so I don't know if it would have cracked otherwise if they had stayed on nice smooth track paved surfaces...
For looks - they're 'OK'. The reason for purchase was because I needed a dedicated set of track wheels. I was never really a big fan of them. The reason I chose those particular wheels was because they were 17x8.5", and being light was a plus. Most importantly, they were CHEAP - they were in the $700's out the door, brand new.
They do look a lot better - and are a pretty penny more expensive, as well...
If I had to do it again, I'd choose the ARC-8's.
