MHT vs Strasse

Jeffblue

would you mind explaining what makes a wheel such high quality as you describe it? unless i'm mistaken, we are all talking about 3 piece Forged wheels made of 6061 aircraft grade aluminum all offering whatever colors, whatever sizes, with many designs. you mentioned quality 3 times in one post. A money back guarantee is a really nice way to show you stand behind a product, but i'm really curious about what makes strasse such high quality. I'm sure they are high quality, they look like they are, and judging by the clientelle, they are. But considering the cars these are on, (lambo's etc) you're talking about type a clientelle that really doesn't mind shelling out another 2-3k on wheels if you convince them its something better. These are people that equate price with quality, so if wheel x costs more than wheel y, then wheel x is better in their eyes. simple as that. but this isn't a lamborghini forum. its not even a GTR forum. i'm not trying to but if theres something we are all missing out on in terms of quality, i'd be really curious to know what it is.

This is about to turn into an interesting thread.

Tommy: Chicken wings! Let's think about this for a sec, Ted, why would somebody put a guarantee on a box? Hmmm, very interesting.

Ted Nelson: Go on, I'm listening.

Tommy: Here's the way I see it, Ted. Guy puts a fancy guarantee on a box 'cause he wants you to fell all warm and toasty inside.

Ted Nelson: Yeah, makes a man feel good.

Tommy: 'Course it does. Why shouldn't it? Ya figure you put that little box under your pillow at night, the Guarantee Fairy might come by and leave a quarter, am I right, Ted?

Ted Nelson: What's your point?

Tommy: The point is, how do you know the fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer? "Buildin' model airplanes!" says the little fairy, well, we're not buying it. He sneaks into your house once, that's all it takes. The next thing you know, there's money missing off your dresser and your daughter's knocked up, I've seen it a hundred times.

Ted Nelson: But why do they put a guarantee on the box?

Tommy: Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of ****. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I've got spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from me.

Ted Nelson: Okay, I'll buy from you.

That movie is a classic! and yeah most people throw a guarantee on a product for just that reason... However, I am putting my personal money on the line!!! How many people would do that?!?

Here are just a few points of quality:

1) Yes we use 6061 aluminum just like many of the top brands

2) Every wheel is tested and inspected for its strength and quality

3) Stainless Steel Fastners

4) Unlike other manufacturers we do not use vinyl or stickers on our wheels

5) Each Design is tested for DOT and competition use

6) We use the flatest forging possible to ensure the lightest weight possible for our wheels

7) We also have a race prep package that allows us to drop up to a pound of weight per wheel by removing extra material from the wheel while maintaining wheel rigidity.

8) I can go on and on about what makes Strasse Forged a superior product and why you should buy our wheels... but its more than just $$$=Quality that keeps people buying our wheels! The Strasse Forged Product is a brand you will want to stand behind as an owner... Strasse Forged owners love their wheels and you will never hear one bad thing about the wheels from an owner even after years of owning the product!

Plus, I have killer prices on these wheels right now! Puma was quoted a killer price on both CF and on all black with pinstripe!

Choose Strasse Forged you will be happy with your purchase that I can promise!

sounds like a well made product. unless i'm mistaken though, there are regulations in place that wheel manufacturers have to meet. i dont think any john doe can go out there and make wheels in his garage and sell them.

"Though not enforced, there are quality standards to govern the production of wheels. Some countries though, like Germany and Japan, have government regulations requiring aftermarket wheels to meet certain criteria and ensure proper fit. The United States has taken steps to establish guidelines but it will be some time before they can enact regulation of any kind."
