imo these are a step down from HRE, better than work,volk or any of these brands.

i would pay the money for these but i change my wheels every 6-8 months no point in getting a high end wheel like that to lose it so soon.

i just love how they have all those crazy colors. baller rims hands down. next to fabulous

I don't get why people assume that J Line is a higher brand or is better in quality than RAYS because it's not. J Line, HRE, and iFORGED are all manufactured by the same company! The J Line's are usually a bit more pricier due to discount structures and the customization. In terms of quality, it is very high but compared to a RAYS wheel, I would say that RAYS is superior in terms of quality and structure rigidity. J Line/HRE/iFORGED are not ISO certified or JWL/JWL+R approved, RAYS is.

People's definition of "higher end" doesn't necessarily have to do with structural properties. In terms of customization, offsets, widths etc, Volk is lacking quite a bit IMO. Their anodizing is also alot softer than the likes of SSR/Work from what I've seen in person. Volk certainly excels in the monoblock construction, but the 2 piece wheels leave alot to be desired.

Yup, and I agree. RAYS fitment is some what limited compared to J Line, WORK, SSR but there is a reason why. In terms of customization, the alternative from RAYS is obviously a better choice but when people say that it is a step down from the alternative; you have to consider the core essence of what a wheel actually is and how its manufactured not just by fitment and finish.

sometimes i regret going through the forums, Always some new threads and responses from new members speaking of how inferior Rays wheels are and dual filter intake ideas.

Rice invasion is upon us...

I considered Jline wheels at one point, but none of the styles had a concave face. So I added this
with this
and came up with this

So IMO, Rays came out on top. Cause they offered everything I wanted, a concave face, fat lip, and custom offsets.

JLine wheels are tight! Not very common b/c of the price. I'd take them over iForged any day.

No spacers, offsets vary depending on the disk/face you want. For example, disk/face A can be ordered in offset ranges of +45 to -25.

jesus i thought this board would be better than most, but i was wrong same *** hats on every forum

i dont come on here to badger ppl and if i wanted to be a grammer nut i could say u missed a camma.

What is up with all the noobs, and their lack of grammar or spelling skills?
You still failed.
