Excellent find!
No wonder my Rays rims took 3 months!
Cool vid. :)
Makes you realise why the cheap wheels are so cheap! I doubt they go through all those checks. Rays are king!! :)
very cool. justifys the cost really.
Quote from: Initial-DMakes you realise why the cheap wheels are so cheap! I doubt they go through all those checks. Rays are king!! :)
They will go through the same checks but the whole wheel will be cast and they will need to thicker wall sections to create the same strength. Makes wheel heavier and less expensive in labour terms.
Doing a crack detect test is quite a fast process in mass production.

My problem is with the copies of the Japanese wheels, they will add fake stickers making you believe that the rim has passed all checks when in fact it hasn\'t. Not saying all cheap wheels are rubbish - there are many well made cheap wheels out there.
nice vid makes me feel better about the cost
