They are very strong, and still one of the lightest wheels on the market.

Replica wheels don't have the same panache that comes along with buying something by Volk or Advan, and the replicas probably weigh a little more too. Aside from that, I find it VERY hard to believe that a large multi-national company would produce and sell an un-safe wheel.

Is it your honest opinion that there are companies out there are making wheels that will crack and bend under stress, but they're still in business? Sounds like tinfoil hat material
