Paint white!

not for me I don't like the attention white wheels bring.

Make sure to use "real" paint though, it's better. The paint is strained through tears of angels.

These probably all met TUV too, but only just barely. Set your own standards.













And for these "rep" companies and the wheels they make, this quote says a lot.



Even if a rep wheel is cast using the same process of better wheels, that doesn't take in to consideration the quality of the metal being used, hence my pop can remark. There's a reason why these wheels cost that they do. They've cut every possible corner in the manufacturing process, not to build a better wheel, but simply to make it more affordable. And if you've spent anytime on this planet as a consumer, you'll know that cheap always equals crap as you get what you pay for.

And a point that nobody seems to care about that I'm going to point out anyway. These rep companies are thieves. They copy wheel designs, rather they steal the intellectual property of other companies. And only make enough changes to the designs to avoid being sued. A company that will steal and cut every corner to under cut it's competitors may be successful, but almost never makes for a company with quality product.

But, if you're just going for a performance "look" buy them up. Just make sure you get a matching Folex to complete that look.

And this is a high-end wheel made for Ducati's World Superbike effort, by OZ Racing:

Physics doesn't care how much you paid for your wheels.
