Default WedsSports Testing: Real vs Replica
Thought I'd share this with you guys. I personally am running on a set of TC105Ns.

The voice is very strange. Wheels from Japan, and the voice sounds Hispanic. Kind of spooky.

You obviously don't have an ear for Spanglish... The "Especia-r-y" was a clear indication of his Asianess.

^^^LOL!!!

Another big difference is that one wheels is alot cheaper to replace in case of damaging a wheel, and the other is a 2 month wait and easily about 4 times the cost of the cheaper wheel

The concept of the BBS y-spoke design is to support impact with little distance between spokes. At least the wheel did not fail while driving.
