I would say the problem starts when buying a cheap set of wheels, especially knock-offs. If you get a high quality wheel and tire, you shouldn't have much of a problem. Some cheaper quality wheel use hubcentric rings, etc to fit perfectly, but I know the higher quality wheels such as HRE, Volk, Blitz, etc don't use them. I guess my case point is, you get what you paid for and sometimes just because a wheel may be expensive, doesn't mean it is a high quality product..so watch out!

Mike is right, I got my Lowenhart LD1s and the right is almost about the same as it is was with my 19s. I think you feel the road a little more for sure and it takes a little more effort on the braking part to start but then again those Lowenhart weigh a ton.

Hmmm...Mahdi's....press the "SKIP" button...

Not trying to flame but really, "Big Ballers" get the wheels they want no matter what the cost...they don't have a $500/wheel budget...

Or you just be smart/patient and find a used set of the rims you want for a good price. DON'T SETTLE!!!

I think it's safe to assume that if your spending only $500.00 each on 20in. wheels your getting crap. I think $895.00 per wheel and above is more like it for quality rims. Not trying to be a ***** but, you get what you pay for. This is a very true statement.
I say, spend a little more of your hard earned cash and get a set of quality rims. Believe me, you won't be kicking yourself in the *** a year down the road. Take care, Mike D.

I agree buying a cheap wheel has its down fall, It was hard to get mine to balance. but that is about it so far! I hit alot of pot holes and have not bent them yet! But If I do I will diffinently buy a more expensive one next time so I won't worry as much!!!!
