Hi everyone here..

Do you will invest a original rims or due to budget and go for fake rims from Taiwan or china made?

Cause recently I go with fake Enkei Taiwan so far so good.
Dunno how durable to hit on pothole yet.

Thanks your sharing & experience of usage.

Always choose original. No money for original, then don't change. Unless you're all-show-and-no-go type of person.

As for Enkei, as long as it is original, nevermind it's made in Taiwan, Malaysia or Japan, the quality should be the same. Although, some of them uses MAT production technique which gives better quality and robustness.

But from my point, end up still go for original made in Japan enkei or SSR rims.

To be solve up the pothole problem

i bought ori second hand rim. dont buy china or fake one. you gonna regret later.

Ya that's true price is a big gap.

Even like SSR type C in 2nd hand still much expansive than new.
I mean in JB seller.

i dont really know what is the different. I mean, I use it only for normal daily drive on highway and town. rarely hit any hole and the 8-10kg weight different is nothing.

conclusion, I'm a cheapo and go for the fake one. :)

For my case is just bought the enkei RPF1 look like fake as cheap as Rm800 for 15 inch also lighter weight as 4.4kg per rim.

Ha ha that's y have to find out what an diff also.
The original come with car is heavy like hell on bullet proof when hit on pothole.

replica/fake also not bad if u just do a normal driving

and using original have it risk also...often target by thief and then u ended up with ur car sitting on bricks

That's y from Rm800 vs Rm2800.

Once you hit anything, can be guaranteed you the heart pain until dunno how to said.

my original proton sport rim (came with full spec 14 years iswara) also got people steal, and yes car sat on bricks

for 15"
rm600-1k vs rm2.5-5k depending what rims you're getting

very insane price gap

Huh did u put 4 diff special nut to be lock your legend rims?

cant quite remember, was a very long time ago.

now all 4 advanti sport alloy rims lol

now imagined all those shiny bling bling original SSR type C, advan rg2, te37, rpf-1 etc....

Lol..

My fake rim here :

Reminds me one of the episode of Mighty Car Mods..

I'm on used japan's SSR- Type C RS. No money ? stay stock rim and save up to get a decent rim la. to hell with replicas

heres the problem sometimes... my original advanti is about 6.2kg... replica rays is around 5.6kg, almost a full kg lighter.

want to talk about durability, even rm10k rims can gg from pot holes/accidents anyways.

although i guess it's the same deal with piracy
(yes i do spend a lot of money on original shit lol)

Look like really bad on m'sia road condition.
