As long as you believe whay you say that is all that matters. I'll buy the cheapo Rota's and just make sure my life insurance policy is paid up when the wheel falls apart when am doing 243.5678 mph in my XB.

wow man a little touchy about it huh?
and to find a government published article about it no way. you learn from other peoples experiences, that is what forums are for. i guess if you want to take everything so seriously and try to justify your purchases so be it but the logic presented in this thread is undeniable.

I'm f***ing done trying to help the community. wrczx3, gtfo. yes that was english, and you truly ____ me off. to tcleazy or whatever the hell it is, they're konigs. stop pretending its not you. why is the scion community cheap? because no matter how many accidents happen to cheap rims, they still get them. no matter how much we try and get them out or them, they dont listen. i made the major mistake of buying konigs WITH tires for 200 from a local seller. worst decision ever. BECAUSE of that mistake, it made me appreciate high end rims. Which is why i am now saving up for a new set and getting rid of these stupid POS's. read my story below
want cheap quality? Here
im not sure what i did with the full shot of it, but you can see it there. a ford f150 hit me. you wanna know how it bent? NOT because the truck it the rim, because the truck pushed on the tire and bent it. the original idea was for a shop to "rebend" it and guess what, it cracked. this was my true eye opener.
So when you get your cheap rims, and hit something, even a pothole, tell us how it goes.

I know we have people who feel OK with cast wheels, and I don't fault them at all for a mild daily driver,
but anybody who accepts repairing a bent wheel as an option is an idiot with no common sense (see signature below).
The structural integrity has been compromised; that's like using a motorcycle helmet after an accident because it ONLY has a small crack in it.
Let's face it, points have been made on both sides, and minds have been changed or they haven't.
Pretty much end of discussion... now can we all get along?

Having seen your opinions about wheels, I had no doubt you wouldn't accept a "repaired" wheel.
I just wanted to make sure nobody else misunderstood, and thought it was an acceptable alternative.
BTW, for somebody so against cast wheels, I'm a bit surprised to see that you're on Konigs; or did I miss something?

i made the mistake of getting them. i got them for 400 w/ tires from a local, and my stockies were pretty f'd up and tires were bald, so i got them.
so for now they look decent, but im getting new rims hopefully very soon

listen man, my first set of wheels were cast and i learned my lesson. that is the whole point. i advocate forged wheels because i learned my lesson, i don't want people making the same mistakes i made.

you ever heard the expression live and learn?
you learn things through life experiences.... i had no idea how bad wheels were until i experienced it first hand....
its more persuasive for an EX smoker to convince people to stop smoking than it is for someone who has never smoked to convince people.
