From what i have read around the site, They are not rated for road use at all, There for illegal to drive on. And yes he has posted that broken rim before and yes it can happen to any rim, But it has happen to the cheap copies more then once, Alot more. And after my 5+ years being here i havnt seen a decent rim snapped yet, Bent yes, not snapped.

not everyone can afford genuine rims tho, me being one of them :P

WTF was u doing for that to happen!! i never seen crazy **** like that in my life, did that sap on u while driving!

from memory was either and a gutter hit or pot hole in the road

if it was a pot hole then it must have been farkn Huge haha by the looks id say hes hit a gutter pretty hard lol

That isn't NZ EVLHSV's car, he's no boat driver Chinese rims are ****, I'm pretty ashamed that I still have the replicas that came on my car.. but only being 17" they aren't quite as dodgy as the bigger rims. Also, 'hectik' photo shopping on that monaro pic, I couldn't stop myself from laughing. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I've cracked expensive rims driving through an open man hole before and I realise these things happen with low profile tyres, but a rim that smashes the spokes is rediculous and no one should be driving on them Quote: Originally Posted by Walky not everyone can afford genuine rims tho, me being one of them :P That's your problem. I can't afford a lot of things either

I've done a bit of pot hole testing at my work and have never seen a genuine wheel fail. One ADR test is so harsh that when you hit the pothole the drivers head hits the roof lining, almost hurts your back too. A wheel is allowed to deform a bit but it must maintain air pressure for 30sec to allow driver to maintain control of the vehicle and slow down safely If it disintegrates like those pics its a big fail lol

I saw another Black VE-GTS last night parked down Chaple st with a set of these. I'm still guessing Aftermarket copies... Although, did suit the car very much

Someone has to step in and do something about these dodgy copies. Yeah sure its good paying about 2k cheaper than a genuine item but eventually its going to cost someone a serious injury and or a life or some serious damage to their ride. A lot of people have been lucky with cars stationary whilst they broke.

OK let me clear this up for once and for all..... they are not HSV Genuine. The rims are made by an Aftermarket Brand named G8 made to suit holdens only come in 20" and 22" I first seen these on a 95 statesman there not bad lookin tho i must say anyway here is my proof http://wheelworx.com.au/g8.html VL-EXEC sorry it took so many ppl to get the final answer for your mate

As far as I know genuine HSV rims have HSV cast on the inside. Someone confirm?

there after market w427 rim's ,if they where gen they b a powder silver n only come in 20's, no holden or hsv rim's come out in 22's
