                i saw that photo of the esm's too, fake wheels are bad and cheap, but i think its a good start out so that way you know how to drive a slammed car and when you brush a curb you dont care. i eventually want to get reps and then run those as dailys and for shows and meets i would run real wheels. just my opinion.

                  It sounds like a good idea on paper, but when a wheel bends in two or cracks into two and destroys an entire side of your car then you regret not spending that extra money on quality parts. You pay for quality or pay the consequences.

                      ya i guess, but if i saw that i destroyed one wheel, i would just buy another rep to replace it so i spend a couple hundred and not a couple grand, yes i know quality matters, i just wish i was rich

                        Except quality wheels just bend or crack one lip, instead of the whole wheel exploding. Then you're out that same couple hundred on a new lip from rotiform or memoryfab, and you won't have destroyed the side of your car.

                            rotiform race lips and barrels aren't meant to driven with stretched tires... if you have ever picked up a set of race wheels they are pretty damn light. the classic series however are a big more stronger and durable.

                            show me a picture of a 3500 wheel racking right through the spoke.

                            too bad most of you guys drive on shitty roads lol i never have to worry about cracking my wheels on potholes or road debris here in socal

                                Uh, where are these roads in SoCal you speak of? I would take the backroads of PA over any road here in SoCal
