Not really. HRE have a rep for breaking apart as G37Rider92649 stated. They're banned from autocross as well...Not just track events.

Oh we're still discussing this?

Guys it's pointless..

What you're basically saying is identical to saying: Shumacher lapped the nurburghring in 7 mins flat while Hamilton lapped the Yas Marina Circuit in 4 seconds flat.. therefore Hamilton is a better driver..

Get both their a$$es on the nurburghring in the same car on the same day, then we'll decide who's the better driver. But until then, pix and posts will be useless

The real question:

What Certs do the Chicaras carry? JWL? TUV? VIA?

Simply put, I will not run a wheel without certs, and neither should you, if you care for your own well being.

Even Rotas are JWL.

After some quick research, it seems these wheels carry no certifications.

Buy the real deal.

A quick pic of BBS wheels, showing the certs.

Hands down, chiquito wheels have been officially owned.

Those wheels look sick (gt30's) and it seems like there wasn't much rubber to protect the wheel.

Sam, you're being too nice man, you know it. You're staff I understand that, but Mike has brought out several points consistently throughout this thread and there's plenty of evidence to back what everyone else has been sayin.

haha not really man, I just don't want to bash on wheels which I haven't tested or seen tested that's all. Just because they're not certified or whatever doesn't make them so bad you know? Certification costs money, maybe they're cutting costs who knows

Just my 2 fils, I mean they could be crappy but we can't be so certain yet
