this set was over 10k. Fully forged centers, lips, barrels, real hand laid carbon fiber lips, fully powder coated everything with stainless steel torx hardware. Esr has wheels 1000$/set 2000$/set 3000$/set and 5000$ and up a set. All are different materials, processes, and configurations depending on your needs and price range. This set is top tier in parts quality and manufacturing. What you think is “NiCeR” is completely your opinion, not fact. that this set of wheels was made to higher standards of quality and precision than your VS SD’s, for example. But you can prove me wrong if you want. Just tell me exactly what grade of aluminum each part of your wheel was made out of, how it was made, where it was made, and how it was tested to be deemed safe for road use? Because if you can’t do that then you have no argument, since I can tell you exactly those things about this set. The actual, factual, characteristics of a wheel that describe it’s quality of manufacturing. Now wether or not you were being facetious in your comment, I’m being serious and precisely technical about the parts used to make this the set. So if you can’t do the same for yours, why even argue? And to be honest, I already know all the answers to those questions about your VS SD’s, and none of them are better then the ones I gave in terms of quality and precision for this set. So in all, I’m justifying that people who own rebuilt or even new sets of “RePuTaBIE” wheels don’t know shit about what they’re buying, only the brand name, and that ti hunt said they’re good. LOL no bro 7075 is not better than 6061-T6. Not for wheels, AT ALL. ‘press forged’ is corporate speak for “casted”. And your 7075 has no “T” designation for being heat treated therefore making the material much more brittle, which, 7075 aluminum already is more brittle than 6061-T6. you need elongation and flexibility behind the wheels material to make it last. If tested side by side under the same form and testing perameters, 7075 would fail sooner than 6061-T6 in multiple stage testing over time. The material is just more brittle and has less fatigue strength than 6061-T6. Grain structure? The wheels are milled from formed, 6061-T6 solid aluminum forgings with a grain structure that mimics the profile of the wheels spokes. You are thinking of pure billet aluminum blocks which have a horizontal/vertical grain structure that, I would agree, has less strength by material. And all of the sudden? they’ve been at it for 5 years and now are owned by Wheellmage, one of the top 5 largest forged wheel manufacturing companies in America. And you didn’t even talk about your outer or inner lips. But I don’t think we should, because ya know, they aren’t forged either. And you do not buy for quality, you buy what’s hype, you buy what so and so said was good, you buy superlatively described wheels produced in mass production factories overseas. They’re using cheaper materials, cheaper manufacturing, and cheaper finishing. And guess what, for a cheaper price. Who would have thought there was an actual reason for the price difference? LOL YOU DONT EVEN WORK THERE AND YOU WANNA TALK SUPPLIERS!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAH😂😂😂 lol don’t tell me to look up anything bro vour stuck in the 80s you weren’t better than the 80s. Get a life bro grow up. lol didn’t see anything and don’t care. This between me and you. You may have told the truth but that doesn’t make it “higher quality”. I don’t need another person telling me what you did or couldn’t when it wouldn’t change anything. Believe what you want, but science is science. Physics is physics. Like the company literally makes wheels to the same standards of and gets it’s material from HRE wheels. Who’ve been around just as long and longer then brands you think are top tier. And HRE is the best. They’ve done it for 50 years. And Wheellmage learned from them and MHT/Wheel Pros. The other monster manufacturer of wheels. All you have to arque with is Brand Names and your ignorance to the actual manufacturing and materials used in high end wheels made with ESR and Wheellmage Brands. lol I make all the forged wheels you dumb fuck. Every, single, one. I know more than anyone would about how they’re made, and we make sure we produce better than anyone else otherwise why would I spend the time defending it? if I know something to be true 100% I’m not gonna let some follower replica car club hype wheel fanboy tell me about what I do for a living. Have fun repping cars and wheels that have been done a million times and a million times better than yours.✌️👋👋👋
