    You have some documentation on that statement? From what I remember, aftermarket/replica wheels have to go through a pretty rigorous testing to the standards of what the vehicle the wheel will be on, and have to be bonded.

    Products coming out of China are not to spec. Knock offs coming out of China are further out. OEM or aftermarket American made Is the way .:oldglory:

    Stormtrooper is right. Has not anyone learned the risk of Chinese made knock off parts?

    Of all the replies, this one has convinced me not to buy these. It will either be the OEM BBS version or I will be something made here. I work for a company that manufactures most of its product in the US and I sell to my customers on that from time to time. I'm going to practice what I preach. Thanks for reminding me.
