An Open Challenge to the Aftermarket

The sort of **** the car aftermarket pulls on consumers wouldn't fly anywhere else.

I don't think he (or anyone else) is looking for real world track time comparisons. He's just looking for base statistics that are a crucial part of all of these components.

I mean, imagine for a second if Intel or AMD didn't give consumers info on their chip and just sold it as is? Or if an electric guitar maker didn't tell you what sort of pickups you were getting? Or if you bought food and they refused to tell you the ingredients? You get the picture.

It's pretty ridiculous that wheel manufacturers are shady with weight -- especially when they are in the forged market that basically markets to performance buyers. Same for every other type of performance part. I'm not asking for comparison tests -- I just want to know basic figures.
