Re: interesting thread on rim construction

The guy has a valid point and agree with most of it. For the most part, cast wheels are not as strong as forged and you do get what you pay for. Cheap wheels will most likely bend / crack much easier than more expensive ones.

One piece cast wheels are typically lighter than three piece forged wheels.

Re: interesting thread on rim construction

Hehe, I have no idea on the construction of rims, but logically the point seems strong.

Good read for me since I was once considering the more expensive rims and was shying away from AXIS due to the fact that they are more "budget"--the whole, 'You pay for what you get' mentality

If you have some 19s that you want to sell... let me know
