I recommend saving a bit of cash, doing a little more research and investing in a wheel that will look good and last longer.
CE28N is multi-bolt-pattern, along with many other high-end wheels.

As stated above. Feels cheap. Just my opinion.

They look very good but probably crappy quality. Some sellers tell me to not buy them because many of the guys who bought XXR from them bent the wheels in less than a year. I personally would not run these in bad CA road lol.

The questions is: How do they crack? Are they cracked under a big car collision accident? Or are they cracking by driving normally on the street?

Anything can crack under a big accident so those don't really count.

Yes, they both can crack. But here's the kicker--the cause of the crack is the difference.

All three examples look to be CLEAN cracked. I see no big chips, chunks or hit marks or anything related to a big accident.......sooooo these were not caused by a direct hit or accident.

I know tons of people running replicas with zero issues.

Fantasy (which is the same as fake jewelry) is the most commonly used jewelry used by ALL women.


CZ has remained the most gemologically and economically important diamond simulant since 1976. So yes there is nothing wrong wearing it.

My girl rocks CZ's all the time.

How can we be sure the pictures you show are the authentic legit wheels? There are fake wheels out there. also, there is also a big chance that pictures can be altered... you know the famous photoshop program.

I am not trying to defend anything here. I am just questioning out of curiosity.

No problems with replicas--just don't fake the funk.

If you ever see any of the pics of people with cracked/broken wheels, if you zoom out, they are all 240 or similar drift cars. To be honest, I had a pair of XXR wheels and a set of enkeis. The enkeis constantly bad issues with them bending, on potholes but the xxr's always stayed solid. If that says anything.

Replicas vs. the real deal--this topic has been debated ad nauseam over various car forums. Rock what you can afford. Just don't stick BBS, Volks, etc stickers/center caps on replicas. Simple as that.
