If your too scared to drive your car cause you think you'll curb/bend your wheels. Then sir you need to learn how to drive.

Actually they do crack.. quite often. Seen it first hand on local cars.. didnt even last a month on 2 cars out here.

Not saying other wheels don't crack either.. but the higher end wheels tend to bend rather than crack.

Well I like Oville Redenbacher's over the no name stuff. It's fluffier and tastes better!

Yeah...Work wheels don't crack.



Bottom line is any wheel can deform with the right kind of misuse. No wheel is likely to break during daily driving. Any wheel might deform during an "off' on the street or track. This shouldn't necessarily be a deciding factor on whether to buy a cheap or expensive wheels. There are far more benefits to consider with high-end wheels.

Just dont put a 25 or 30 sidewall on for the tire, maybe it will prevent it a little bit from cracking or bending? lol just my opinion....

Lol why did this thread turn into talking about wheels cracking. From my experience of fake vs real wheels the thing is quality and fit and finish. The detail in real wheels is much better, the coating, each rivet, the center caps. While on reps I've had bolt holes drilled too small so only certain lug nuts, socket fits, huge dents from dropping lug nuts on the lip from only the bolt holes by accident. Also weight difference. It's just like coach vs lv, a bag is a bag but the difference is in the quality and fit and finish. Just don't get fakes and try to front them off as the real thing cuz people can tell.


Quick Reply: Anybody else as excited as i am for the varrstoen es6's to come out!?!?!
