Whats wrong with them? I have KEI wheels on my car and I cant see what the problem is! Surely it doesnt matter if a wheel is made from softer material, you should drive properly and not kurb them

Heard bad reports about KEI rims just buckling from the course of everyday driving, ie potholes etc.

My technomags have been fantastic, only bent one once when I hit something hard and immovable at 80+ leptons per hour.

i've heard about kei/arospeed rims being crap too, also have a friend with toora 5's and they went flat between the spokes, werent even that old.

also excite/wolfrace/asia tec can be soft, u get what u pay for really.

most german makes are very very strong, eg ronal, rh, borbet etc.

I was thinking of getting Excite R08. Would you say they are poor quality as they are only about £450 in 17's
