Re: Real vs. Fake
Thats a different argument entirely... Obviously like anything, quality costs money... You get what you pay for... Said argument could be put towards anything... I get shit on b/c I have an ebay turbo (which mind you I will replace (I didn't put it there in the first place)), but I'd much rather have a HKS or Greddy... Somethin I know is quality, reliable and isn't gonna blow a seal when I dog it on the track... But then again, boost is boost right?
A question that I brought up in this thread asked what would I benefit from running authentic BBS wheels over my reps on my street car?
-It comes down to that either wheel will suffer damage from a bad-pot hole/curb/accident, the amount of damage sustained may be different but it will likely require replacement of either wheel. On that note, I'd much rather spend a few hundred replacing a replica wheel over $400+ on an authentic wheel.
Track use is a completely different story, prolonged stress can cause fatigue and this is where the higher quality will surely cost the owner less over time.

You're absolutely correct, quality cost money.

nope.
once again, use the search button and look up my previous threads.. and look up my most recent one
good point. but it looks like your trolling, chief. but it doesnt change the fact that ill still run you.

This has a legit point... On a street car, I can see running replicas... But on a track car, I'd want something stronger that could handle the stress... Point taken...
You trolling me, boy? So b/c I don't have a trade rating means exactly what? That I'm not a VaD Classified troll? I'm on here for the forum, doucher, not to peddle second hand junk...
