PIAA wheels

How is the quality of these wheels? Do they compare to Volks/Work in quality? I tried searching but couldnt come up with anything.

Good apples to bad oranges? Bad apples to good oranges? Or good apples to good oranges? You've gotta be more specific than that.

it was my understanding that PIAA wheels were licensed resellers/rebadgers of work wheels

They arent comparable at all, your comparing a one piece cast wheel to 2 or 3 piece light weight racing wheels. you dont really need to be a car enthusiast to figure that out. im sorry if this response sounds like im a *****, but stupid questions get stupid answers.

Well obviously you aren't a car enthusiast, because Work DOES make 1-piece cast wheels.

And PIAA makes a forged wheel - The X-1F Tanzo. They also offer a 2-piece cast wheel.

i think its safe to assume that the majority on this forum as well as "car enthusiasts" do not put a one piece wheel on their car when they wait for months to get them...lets be real here

either way a work wheel is better than a piaa wheel no matter how u dice or slice it. you can not compare the two in terms of quality, the finish as well as the price reflects this difference.
