varrstoen wheels are not as rice as window visor and bike rack without a bike hobby

did anyone hate on your tinted tail light back when you did them on your g?

Pot calling kettle to me

Varrstoen wheels are much much worse than bike rack. A bike rack for show, doesnt put your safety and safety of your passengers at risk. People dont hate replica wheels because they dont look good, they look almost identical. They dont hate replica wheels because they are cheaper, everyone likes saving money. Replica wheels are rice becasuse they are poor quality with little to no checks. People actually pay money to replace OEM wheels with those of lesser quality. Rice is paying people money to make your car less safe for the sake of trying to look like a quality wheel.

I am sure there are several who dont like overlays. There is a difference between personal taste and rice.

Quality control in production of the aftermarket cast wheel is what is in question here?

Do these aftermarket wheel companies load test each set of wheels before sale? I could understand wild QC issues. QC is expensive.

It is about quality (cast vs forged) and quality control. It is about installing inferior products simply to obatin a look.

U said this in the Varrstoen pic thread-
Meeting Japanese standards must make them somewhat worthy. I want to know about XXRs though, same opinions with them as well?

Says MMR I guess they are made by the same company

It's about the whole pie, not just pieces...

"WORK Wheels" is one of the only companies in the world to develop and utilize a "Solid Rim Flange." Our rim barrels are highly regarded by other wheel manufacturers as well. Many other wheel makers have requested to purchase our rim barrels for their wheels.

"Due to this certification, each and every one of WORK Wheels are produced under the strictest quality control process."

The whole wheel is forged. It is structurally strong an individually tested.



From Miatas forum:

"Things like material, design, casting or forging method, and material processing all factor into the end product. But, forged aluminum wheels ultimately have the POTENTIAL to be stronger per pound, and to have better fatigue resistance, than cast aluminum wheels. But, a good design and properly done casting is superior to a mediocre forging or a poorly designed forging."

At the time I said that, they had completely copied Eneki and were only claiming to meat Japanese standards. Since then they have compelely removed that from their website. At the time they posted it, they WERE NOT accredited by VIA JWT, last I saw someone from Mackin did a registration check with VIA JWT and they were not approved. I mean it would be completely unheard of for a company that produces fake wheels to also use fake certification on them right?

Widow visors are rice right just look at all these ricers

Just because there's one rice mod on an otherwise excellently modded car doesn't mean it's not rice. At two of those cars have stickers and one is sticker bombed in the rear. Again, rest of the car is great but the stickers are ricey

Ha ha. Want to see rice, go to the G35 Driver FB page. Right now there is a heated debate about which is faster a stock G35 or a Charger SRT8. (No joke) To make it even better, there are multiple people claiming they have beat several SRT8s with their NA G35s

Some nuggets

Idk but I spanked a srt 8 challenger with my hr sedan about 3 cars on the 1/4

Justin Weiland
I beat a str8 challenger in my 35 coupe, rolling start at 45 I pulled him pretty good I was really surprised I was expecting to get spanked

Kurt Dabucol
Depends on the driver!

My G eats them up..

Faizal Mamah
Stock for stock from a 60 a rev up will play a short game of catch up with a jeep srt8

Stephanie Nicole
Power to weight ratio is horrible on those. In the long run they'll catch up but on the take off, the G surpasses it.

Trust me when I say this if you haven't felt the power of a Stillen SC ON A G srt8 are garbage on a straight line #JustSaying

I've raced and beaten many lambos on the street
They just don't know we were racing...

Most cheaper aftermarket wheels are "low pressure cast". They will have a crystalline structure and a low yield strength. High end aftermarket (Work DPE HPE etc.) wheels are usually forged out of billet aluminum and have a finer grain structure and higher yield strength. they are then are heat treated. That's why you pay 3-5K for a set.

How do you find these posts on the fb group?
Much more entertaining

Correct. Plus no one ever said high end wheels do not fail. Anything can fail with enough force. I bent a set of 3 piece forged DPE with a curb.

The issue isn't just IF a wheel fails but even more importantly HOW a wheel fails. Forged wheels typically bend, leaving you with some control over the car. Cheap cast wheels frequently suffere catastrophic failure, removing any control you had from the car.
If you are driving on cheap wheels and they fail, you are at a much higher risk of further damaging your car or injuring passengers in the car.
