Saying you are picking a Mach V wheel vs te37 isn't exactly even a fair comparison especially when they are two different price points let alone cast vs forged.


That's like saying I totally would have went for the Ferrari but then I want to support my local Honda dealer
A) You haven’t heard of them because you drive a Prius and not a Subaru. You likely also haven’t heard of them because they are located on the east coast and not “JDM”.

B) They are not a “replica” company, and the wheel you are referring to is not the wheel I was talking about anyways. Mach V is a performance shop, primarily focused on Subaru’s, that also manufactures their own line of products to include wheels and suspension components.

C) The wheels are flow formed not cast. Regardless, I was not “comparing” them. I was simply stating I will likely go local, get a solid lightweight track wheel for a great price and support a local business, rather than dump an excessive amount of money on another great wheel that will perform marginally better.
