I'd respect FN01RC, RP03, RPF1 or anything from Cosmis before I'd respect Battles. My point was that if you discard the whole fake vs legit wheel bullshit, I fee that the classic 5 spoke LMGT4 style is more appealing than Battles. Doesn't make Battles a bad wheel. I'd give them the same level of respect I'd give any other cheap fucking wheel that still manages to look decent.

Edit: I just want to add that I think it's BS when ppl bash P45R's, when I've never read a single bad thing about Bee*R B5's or Uras NS-01's. I guess they're under the JDM hater protection umbrella...
Your argument is that because they can be had a cheap price they are not worthy. Brace yourself for this because it might blow your mind, there is a website called Yahoo auctions japan, and on it you can buy a full set of SSR agle strusses for the exact same price as a full set of battles.
Lets also continue to point flaws into your backwards logic, you are arguing that a wheel that is forged is better than a wheel that is cast. Price left out of the equation that still means you are comparing apples to oranges in the wheel world. And you can't discard fake v real because it is a huge piece of the puzzle.
Thats all fine and dandy if you like one design over the other, great! I personally think the forged LMGT4's look way better and are obviously going to be better performers, they are forged. But that doesn't mean I'd compare a real wheel no matter the price point, to the replica/fake/cheap version of it. Just because they are at a similar price point doesn't mean they are at a similar quality point.
