If you're going to buy replica wheels (Volks are too expensive for me), is there a way to tell if they are good quality and wont crack, bend, or break? Do you basically stick with name brands like TSW, Konig, Momo, etc?

replica wheels are totally fine, specially if you aren't going to be racing with them and abusing them all the time..



Konigs are not really 'name brand' up there with the others and I would consider them more of a replica style wheel like Rota or XXR. TSW is also quite 'cheap' to be considered a high end name brand wheel.



I have always really liked my Konigs and currently rockin' XXRs and would never spend the money on a Volk/Mugen/Rays, etc.



If you are looking for a good lightish weight wheel that is priced well, I would look at the TSW forged models. You can get them for around 200$ per wheel
