Apparently a lot of replica wheels require a high amount of balance weights, something to do with the way they are cast during manufacture.


Yet another reason to stay away from cheap replicas, I've said it before, I'll say it again, why pay £50, 60, 70K and then scrimp on wheels?

Replica wheels are less safe. Some are better than others, but in general they are less safe.

Buster,

Did you get the load rating of them when you bought them?

JF.

Fair argument, be not all of us paid £60k+ for our motors Wink ..so paying out for genuine premium designer alloys is actually a bigger budget issue Thumbs Up
£1k of anyone's money should get you a good quality set, you just need to make sure the weight rating is up to the job (1000kgs or more ideally).

My failures I'm sure was due to low tyre pressure and cheap tyres, the side walling offered no protection to the rim... so when these are shot I'll be going premium tyre and staying at 37psi RRS gone
