Say No to Fake Wheels...It Could Save Your Life

TongMan · 03-10-2011, 06:35 PM

Propaganda and advertisement. I'm pretty sure we agree that cast wheels are weaker than forged wheels. With impact, any wheel would be subject to break, dent, curb, or blow up. Getting one of my rims replaced will cost me $131 with delivery in 3-5 days. I can't say the same about baller wheels that can take up to a year for delivery. By the time your rims break or had been destroyed, I can safely say that many other factors contributed to the incident and not just because the wheels were "fake".

I can afford baller rims from Japan, but I find it unreasonable to drive on them on a daily basis. Maybe I'll just buy a set of Volks, Rays, BBS, or Weds rims just to keep as trophies in my garage so people will get off my back about running XXR's.
