I still dont believe any workshop is perfect, even the gear weve got made with cnc laser had a tolerance in the 1/2mm range

Guys, apologies for the noob question, and yes I understand these are fakes. Does anyone have an opinion on these rims?

you can find out about fake wheels anywhere, theres a reason the legit ones are over thousands.

still it costs just as much to put tyres on cheaper,weaker wheels.

the only difference is how much it costs, initially, and then in repairs after they shatter off the studs and you come crashing down onto the ground with your brake disc and suspension.
imho not worth it. get a wheel that meets JWL, even second hand is better.

Daily - rock fakes. No one wants to steal them, gutter rash etc.

Weekend/hardpark - real deal

Racecar - real deal. Because racecar

You do know that most oem wheels also shatter?

well anything will shatter with enough force, just that honda OEM ones will withstand more than many fake ass wheels.

great horror images.

PPL that use fake wheels on hondas are only further tarnishing Hondas tuning scene.

do us all a favour and dont be a ricer.
