Say No to Fake Wheels...It Could Save Your Life

Did any of you guys notice in the side by side comparison the factory wheel was allot higher than the imitation wheel there for taking less of a impact.

Just thought I would throw my in.

I don't know if "shameful propaganda" is necessarily the right thing to call it; it's still somewhat informative. Although, I agree with everybody regarding that this isn't a definitive test. The portion of the title "it could save your life" was meant more as a way to get people to have a look at the thread...if I titled it "Weds Wheel Bump Test" I don't think as many people would've bothered to check it out. I still believe that the test holds some validity though. For instance, say you hit a very deep pothole at speed (as many of you know, are very common here in LA); the stress and hit that is put on the wheel can be equivalent to what this test demonstrated. I don't think completely discounting the testing that Weds has done is totally invalid.

Andrew is spot on regarding the JWL & TUV requirements; most low priced wheel manufacturers don't submit their products for certification.

By the way, if you guys want to know all the ins and outs of Rays' production process, have a read of this article; it's very informative:
