Nice...!

 

I can't help but wonder.....whatever happened to JCatapano's 1 to 26?
I miss those guys.

 

Well thats the thing...What is the deal with the huge price differences in Chrome Rims..forged/cast..etc..if they look nice, how can anyone tell and what will be the difference in the long run.? Will the chrome wear off the cheap ones?, will they scractch easier? I mean, does it make a real difference if they are one piece, two piece, 3 piece etc.??

 

ive tried reading various info over the past 4 months...and still dont see the reason for the huge price difference if the wheels look just as nice

 

Like anything it is the land of diminishing returns. As you climb the quality ladder you pay more and more for smaller increments of quality improvement. You just need to decide where X meets Y (x= quality, y= price) for you and run with it.

 

I've purchased one set of cheap a** wheels in my life, for my maxima and I can say looks wise they were OK! Paid 1k with tires.

My cousin hit a nice sized pot hole and cracked the whole wheel!

I have Auto Couture Supreme BR's on my car now, They are 3-4yrs old. Had them on my Lexus LS 400 and ironically they look sweet on this car.

I have hit tons of pot holes with these wheels and only have some minor bends on the inside lip but that's it! Paid 3k and 1200 for tires.

I think the quality of materials used plays a big factor on how well your wheels will stand up to hard driving or the harsh roads.

 

You are paying more for some quality, better materials, the name, and in most cases weight. To me weight wasnt a factor b/c im not racing the car, it my daily driver...I thought about it, i could have bought Piaa Super Rozzas or similar for around $2600 or more for just the rims, even if i cracked all four of these rims at the same time and bought new ones i would have still spent less money!
