You wouldn't buy a Chinese car, same should apply to the wheels.
Facepalm.
Of course you would face palm. I would too if my business revolved around buying wheels like the above for less than $50 a wheel and selling them for $200; cos they shiney and got mad dish yo.
If i could buy a wheel for $50 then I would not buy it.
You sir really have no idea about this. JDM yo brah
hear it all the time, story gets soooooo old.
Most of the wheels we sell are of a better quality than factory wheels.
If your car is worth 6-8k is it really worth spending the same amount on wheels?
If you're not buying them for $50 a wheel, then the person you are buying them off is.
I know what they cost, I nearly invested $50k into doing it about 6 years ago. Feel free to post up some of the part numbers on the boxes your wheels come in. Would not take me long to find a supplier I could get a price off and could then post publicly to prove my point?
Anyone with some time could do the same looking through alibaba.
Only reason I didn't pursue was I only had $50k at the time which does not buy many lines. Alot of the suppliers I was talking to at the time had MOQ of 200 wheels, per line. One line being one stud pattern (some were multi fit) one width one size one colour one style one offset. Even hainvg a couple of styles, couple of widths and offsets added up to 20 lines. That was significatly more commitment than I could make.
Don't mistake me for one of your naive customers. I bought a sample set of wheels in even after I had decided I couldn't expand into rims. I just want some cheap drift rims for my sil on the cheap. I recall the shipping was more than the wheels, and even then it was barely over $100 landed. Anyway, these wheels looked alright, but were soft as butter. Went over the rumble strip at Ruapuna and they bent; couldnt get them balanced after that.
I say get genuine for a reason.
