regardless if these were chikara's, volks, iforged or whatever. I would defend them until certain circumstances and proof arises and changes my opinions. Until then, just because i defend chikaras doesn't mean i'm liable and it's in my contract. Why is me and Branden defending chikara wheels? Because we have them on our vehicles and we put our vehicles through daily test and in our opinion they hold up well. Ask another person who has chikara wheels and lets get a poll if they stand up to every day driving...

My whole argument is the whole accident and because they shattered it takes away the integrity of the product. When the chikara wheels get damage during normal everyday driving then i'll go forward to a forged rim and agree with everything you all are saying. Until then, these 1k wheels are good for what i need right now and i'll spend the other 1-2k i saved on other mods.

Yeah, now it takes a good amount of force to bend a DPE lip. Not imagine hitting that same pothole with these wheels. I'd guess you'd have a pretty good chance of actually breaking these wheels if not cracking them and porb in places you would realize. Then you're driving along and hit say another pothole, donezoooo wheel shatters you crash and you got more damage to your car than if you would have just saved up and got some quality wheels where all you'd have to do it "replace" the lip. Sure **** happens to every wheel, but i'll take my wheels bending than completely shattering and potentially cause way more damage.

did the wheels cause his accident? no, the wet conditions did. Don't go changing the subject, the subject is the quality of the wheels. And we didn't say it was as good or a better quality then volks bbs and other forged or higher priced rims (nor can we prove that statement, purely based on experience). We are simply stating that they hold up in everyday daily driving conditions and for 1k a set, that is worth it to me. For the rest, it is your choice if paying 1k for a set of rims is worth it or saving up for another set.

well not to drag this on but like i said this can happen to any wheel for example heres a murcielago a guy i know got in his shop and sent me pictures he found
i believe he said they were HRE's and the car has almost the same exact damage i had..... so point proven... it can happen to any wheel...

Worse than Rotas.
HRE are baller wheels, but they crack super easily. I heard there was some tracks that banned HRE wheels because it's dangerous to the owner, many European car owners told me HRE is over-rated and it is soft, they tried to buy Work Barrels from them but Work said F U. So yes HRE cracks, and breaks easily, but is it baller still? Yes. HRE Amazing at marketing and all the ballers will run their shiet until the end of time.
