I do agree at times price do come with better quality but sometimes there are some brands that have real high markup because of over hype for bragging rights. Take the Air Jordan shoes made by Nike. Some can cost hundreds of dollars. I understand that some are collectibles too, but that doesn't make the quality any better than Reebok and other name brand shoes which cost around $50. So unless you understand the engineering and materials that went into making the product, its hard to judge the product based solely on price.

I wouldnt go with the wheels just because their cheap. My advice would be to get the ones you like while still being on a budget. My mind is on the f-sport rims but I just bought new tires for my OEM rims so ill proballly be holding off on them unless I find them used.

i think for winter rims, these are better than steelies. but for summer when i take ramps and corners with decent speed, i'm worried about my wheels like in the picture i posted.



sometimes you overpay, but a lot of times, you get what you pay for and should always do research

like for tires, i thought i would have to get PS2s, they are one of the best tires. but after doing research, i've found the hankook v12s are half the price but beat the PS2s in a lot of things.

for wheels, i really wanted work sc1s cause they look good, but the price is a bit too much, so i look around, i've seen similar style wheels but for a more reasonable price.
