Team Dynamics used Dymag wheels for much of their BTCC years, they do make competition wheels that look surprisingly like sparco/speedline/compomotive etc

Well if thats how people value their lives then so be it. I just hope you don't crash into someone if or when they give way. I really wouldn't be comfytable driving a motor with replica wheels having read all the horror stories lately. |

No was Google actually, what part of the op representing kahn making that statement is libel don't you understand?? You are more than welcome to your opinion same as everybody else, but if your going to make a statement then try and back it up with facts. All I've done is asked the op for facts/examples to verify his statement, is that so bad? He could well post up all the information proving that all replica wheels are dangerous, but I have a sneaking suspicion that he can't prove they are all dangerous if any at all. I've seen the pictures and post about some people having lots of bother with replicas, but then the same goes for original ones. I've yet to see any proof whatsoever that one is better than the other, for all you/I/anybody knows the wheels could be coming out the same factory made by the same people using the same materials. |

There was a post on here the other week with a photo of a stormer wheel that had completely snapped all of its spokes, i think it origanally come from the D3-4 site, i just can't find it at the moment. |

Reading the 1st post is enough to put me off buying replica wheels How much more evidence do you need If you are asking for numbers then i'm afraid i don't think you will get them because i don't think they are logged so no records are kept, looks like BMW have also had their fair share of cracked alloys, just google Bmw cracked alloys. |
