I have never heard of this brand. Is it reliable. Cause I am searching for new tyres for my car and if my rims sucks, might as well change it together. No point keeping crappy rims.

Simi is atas? Lousy?

 

Sorry me never heard of rays engineering. A bit noob in rims esp. when it comes to Jap brands. Me only heard of brands like BBS, AC Achnitzer, Hamann, Volks, Enkei nia. The rest never heard before.

 

grams light sounds like some ulu ulu brand to me.

Gram Lights is a good brand la.. go and take the weight of the rims.. if very light then most likely it's real one..

Ok i stand corrected if I am wrong

Good question. I also don't know. Cause casting can be exactly the same. Even the words etc all the same. Maybe its the weight? Perhaps real ones are supposed to be stiffer and more rigide hence heavier? I did handle the rims before and feel its very light. I think its replica stuff else cannot be so light.

I handled before and its very light. But skeptical about it cause light means less material and so most likely fake rims. Real ones should be heavy and rigid.

 

My rims already have curb rashes and the material looks like aluminium to me.

i seriously duno.. but i guess got to remove rims.... and 1) weigh it... 2) look at where it is from

 

if not... drive it hard over pothole in malaysia and see if it breaks?

not necessary.... forged rims are very light but very strong and uber expensive

 

it is how it is made and with what material... that determines the weight.....

Should be the other way round. Replica rims should be heavier than the real ones.

OIC.

 

But why should it be heavier since replica should be less expensive hence less material used? Cause it doesn't sound right for replica rims to use more materials for the rims.

dun think there is anything wrong with replicas unless u are paying ORIGINAL prices for it. as long as ur car is pt A to B car and not trackie, replica rims shd be no problem.
