put it this way, fast tires need half a lap to warm up and these GQ might need 2 laps, once it is warmed up, traction is very consistant.

Ok, looking at where you're coming from in terms of what tires you've tested, I guess it has better wear than the GRP tires you've listed but I think it does not come close to Speedmind or Sato Seiki (Mono Tuning) tires. They are just better tires that chunk less than GQ or even the GRP tires. I would think the rims are as durable as Speedmind's dish wheels and stand quite a beating.
Price wise, what we get over here is the same for all tires. So for us, GQ is just another alternative to try. Though I have to admit that the orange rims is kinda of appealing !

Yes some ppl likes orange rims and some just absolutely hate them! but I have seen GQ rims in Black in fact my first batch GQ's are in black rims, they are absolutely gorgous! I really dont mind the color as long as it performs good, last! Foam tires are getting expensive! may be I am just too cheap!
