Alloys from Hong Kong

[betty_swollox]

OEM alloys are manufactured to a proven design, to set standards, and under strict quality control.

Reps are made simply to look like the wheels they're a copy of. Where you buy your reps from has little bearing on how well they're made.

....lol except the mk7 golf R wheels, have u seen the pictures of the one that just disintegrated??


But I do agree with you. I wouldn't buy snidey reps. A lad at work as some and tbf they do look spot on and they were bought from a local shop with a good rep (they also sell genuine wheels and do loads of tuning etc) so I think they'll be good quality reps.

You mean the one reported incident of a Golf R wheel failing which was most likely down to him tramping a kerb?

I very much doubt it was a kerb  

And yes, I know, 1 report doesn't make them all sh*t.

^^^ Funnily enough, it was the reps of that particular wheel that I was after: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19-GOLF-R-2014-STYLE-ALLOY-WHEELS-FIT-VW-GOLF-MKV-MKVI-A3-A4-SCIROCCO-PASSAT-3d-/251546580286?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item3a9158353e

Exactly, seeing a image or a little read of that f*cked rim will be only half the story I'm pretty sure.

I think if he had been driving like a dick he would have done a lot more damage to the car

If it was a kerb, then he hit it with a wheel, not the whole car. That's probably why the rest of the car is relatively undamaged. Didn't need to be driving like a disk, just hit something which damaged the wheel.
