Did he hit the wall?

 

link pls for the varrstoen thread lol

 

I think they're fine, but a lot of people will flame you for not wasting thousands of dollars needlessly.

 

I was just looking at the Sportline website and it says that the Te.6 wheels are made with "Spun Forge Flow Formed Technology". I googled that phrase and found this blurb on TireRack:

"
Spun-Rim, Flow-Forming or Rim Rolling Technology

This specialized process begins with a low pressure type of casting and uses a special machine that spins the initial casting, heats the outer portion of the casting and then uses steel rollers pressed against the rim area to pull the rim to its final width and shape. The combination of the heat, pressure and spinning create a rim area with the strength similar to a forged wheel without the high cost of the forging. Some of the special wheels produced for the O.E.M. high performance or limited production vehicles utilize this type of technology resulting in a light and strong wheel at a reasonable cost. BBS has used this technology for several years in their production of racing wheels for Formula One and Indy cars. BBS's RC wheel for the aftermarket is an example of a wheel produced using spun rim technology.

I'm curious to see how that process actually happens with a one-piece wheel.

 

Cmon, that wheel can be totally fixed. Lol. Some bondo and paint with a little sanding

 

I wouldn't really call them knock off's... They aren't the cheapest wheel lmao. Well for me they were a gift. They are just cheaper than The 37's but look identical. Ive seen one beaten with a sledge hammer with a aftermath of no cracks, bends or anything like the varostons??

Overall I got the wheels today and they are magggniiffiiiceeennttt.

 

not to mention the fact that most of us aren't going to be driving our cars that hard for us to recreate what happened in that picture.

 

Where did you find that?

Some of the people who can afford the real deal will most likely hate on you. As far as I know they are fine for daily driving, but you shouldn't track with them lol.


Is it really?

 

Thats what I have heard and what most guys say on here. Apparently they are built differently. I think sry110's post explains how the sportlines are built. However, they only come in a +22 offset.

 

Already several threads on this topic, no reason to rehash the same old argument:
