why?

[YokotaS13]

Sacrifice performance? yes most knockoffs are heavier than the real thing, Saftey? bull**** how often to you hear of a knockoff wheel causing a wreck, it doesn't happen. Why would someone on a tight budget waste $3000 dollars on one part for their car? Does it really make sense to spend 2-3K $ on a car that cost 3K? Think about what you could do with all the money you save by buying knockoff wheels. Futhermore if you really want the best performance cheap you should run the widest most high performance tire possible on you stock wheels to save money.

Spending 3K on wheels=fail
Cheap wheels that look good until you can afford expensive ones=WIN!!

3k?
No
you can get work XD9s/XT7/XC8 for like 1200.00
and the biggest tire is teh WORST idea ever. learn some about tires please.

buying cheap wheels to save money until you buy new ones?
WHy not jsut save up and buy ONE SINGLE set of wheels?
instead of wasting money on others.....that you end up reselling you loose money on.
if you buy Quality wheels, they normally retain their value.

sa far as safety....have you ever heard of a Work hub comming off a wheel?
ive seen a sportmax do it.....an idiot in japan with them did it at the track. mid drift the rear wheel separated from teh hub...it was still bolted on.
