The funny part is you will pay more for something like an exhaust, that you could cheap out on and never worry about it putting your life in danger, but you will knock the megans quality, when all it is, is an exhaust pipe that any local muffler shop could weld up.
Lol Its funny that you say you won't cheap out on parts that matter alot when last time I checked, wheels are one of those parts, pretty much anything keeping your car connected to the road does. Tires, wheels, and suspension are all things you shouldn't cheap out on. Just because it passes testing does not mean it is meant to handle the rigors of being on the track, I can't count enough times where I've seen broken wheels because of subpar quality issues, especially if you daily and track the same wheels. Many of you have this idea that if it breaks "I'll buy a new one for 150." Well if it does break because of all the "track time" you have put on it and it just so happens to be while you are doing some high speeds, you may not even have that opportunity to purchase another 150 dollar wheel. I find it hilarious when there is so much talk of people tracking their cars, yet they go with a 9 inch wide wheel and put a fucking 215 on it, there is no logic in the thought process of "I track it so I can cheap out on shit"
I'm not here to start a big war or anything, but giving you some food for thought, stop using "the track" as an excuse to buy cheap shit, if you like the wheels then you like the wheels. Nobody is going to talk shit if you just say "I bought them because I like how they look" I just find it funny that most of the people in here claim they won't cheap out on stuff that matters or that its because they track their cars. If you're really using them for the track then you are considering wheels for their weights, strength, and amount of rubber you can fit on them, not how hella flush they are or what other stupid fad is currently going on. |
he mentioned megan exhaust thats why i included my exhaust.
I do not DD my car, daily driving a car and driving it hard is fucking stupid.
I like how they look, i like the price. AND i have NEVER seen a wheel break at the track out of no where, usually its from hitting a wall etc.
and people will grab 3000 eurolines over these which are by NO means lightweight (although much better contruction.)
Ive heard storied of wheels breaking rotas mostly but i have seen the pics but i have never seen them break in person.
would I like something nicer and more expensive?
sure!
but i cant justify spending 2k+ on rims alone when that money could be used for seat time. which is much more important to me.
