    What safety issue? People spread propaganda about supposedly inferior products all the time. These type of failures are a boon for the people selling similar products.

    "Oh my rim broke"
    "That's because you have cheap imitation rims and not our superior quality rims"

    Crap crap crap crap.

    I see impact damage on all but the first and last ones, and the shots were probably taken so you can't see it. 18"+ rims damage more easily because there is less rubber between it and the impact.

    thats chinese rims for you they do it all the time even with small impacts IE running off the seal into gravel and back on.its another one of those you get what you pay for scenarios good quality rims will take curbs at 50+kmh and stay pretty intact
    I tune the oldschool way fear on the passengers face and knuckle colour cant go wrong
    tabbacco is still my favorite vegetable

    this.

    always had copies, execpt for the SSVs I have on now, never had a single problem, maybe that's because I didn't go sideways into a gutter.....
    Wheelking always been expensive in my eyes, never even considered buying off them due to that.

    Jeez,lets all get burred up about some rims that are shit and fall apart when they hit something,pfff.It sounds like you own a wheel selling buisness..And if the rims are cheapo copies, and are like the rubbish in the above pics,everyone should know about it.

    To everyone slagging the copy rims off, it has also been know to happen to genuine rims also, especially senator signatures. In saying and knowing that, I'd still rather spend the extra and have a 'genuine' item anyway rather than some cheap chinese knock off!
