The only time I will buy a set of 7-10k original rims is when I became very interested with track days. lol

No offense but imo the idea of using such expensive rims for daily (pothole)road driving sounds stupid to me.

I have to agree on this. All these fake rims flooding the market is the main reason why we do not see originals here. If the originals can't be sold, they won't even get a chance to be competitively priced at all. Combined with most Malaysians' mentalities to not save up for the real thing makes conditions siding the knockoffs...

Not everyone can afford a new set of rims that costs 7-10k, and if the road condition in Malaysia is somewhat better, then perhaps it would actually make sense or justifiable to buy original rims. I really wouldn't want to take a risk on Malaysia's road.

Most people would rather spend RM1-2k to buy replicas for daily usage, and when shit happens to their rims, they can get it replaced with another new set of replicas easily because its so cheap.
