Default Are Velox wheels quality?

I am thinking about get Velox Hyperion rims in 20". Does Velox make a good wheel? I know it isn't as good as Lowenhart, Lsportline, etc. but I can't afford those rims. I really like the style of the Hyperion. Will I be happy with this rim? Also, I think I am going to get Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position tires. What does everyone else think about these tires? Thanks

I don't know Velox quality......... definitely not superb or good....... probably ok or poor. Afterall I don't trust knock-off companies. The design you like looks like some other real wheel...... I forgot which one because those are not my style, but I'm sure that wheels is COPIED.

Velox rims probably made in Thailand or something. They knock off rims, gauges, etc. etc. I don't like them.

If you don't know Velox quality how can you say they aren't good quality?

Ray,

the design is straight from takechi's BR5s.......

Ryan,

on some of the velox rims that i have seen in the past, they do not have the safety approval stamped on them...the S-03s are excellent, but the Velox......i would try to save up more $$$ for other rims...

Ryan, how about the "real" Lowenhart BR5s in 20x9 and 20x10? They are pricey but worth it. The L-Sportline Model I evo is nice too. 19s are nice too on those SCs.

You might also like the new Antera 309 with the stainless lip. I can do a 20" staggered set in chrome (wheels only) for 2900 plus shipping. Just 400 or so more than the Giovanna Corsica.

yeah I missed that one, Dronell is actually pretty good quality. However Manaray doesn't make knock-off wheels.

I mean they don't rely on knock-offs to run business. At least manaray has some real high-quality racing wheels. VR5 line is just there for i don't know why.
