Most reps are not forged, so of course a cast replica of a forged wheel isn't going to be as light and as strong, but that goes without saying that WORK Emotion cast isn't as strong as a WORK Emotion forged. The problem isn't that replica's are poor shitty wheels, the problem is the business ethics behind blatantly ripping off designs from the upper tier companies, not just using similar designs, it's blatant copies to undercut the bigger names and sell the same look for a cheaper cast price. I don't support rep wheels but I don't think they are cheap dangerous wheels to drive on.
What Certs do the Chicaras carry? JWL? TUV? VIA?
Even Rotas are JWL.

Chicaras carry none

I'm not saying every single rip off company. I'm sure there are ones with no certifications that are just plain **** all around.
