[V8] Re: wheels, strong opinions here!!!!!

[J123fs at aol.com]

Hey,
I will chime in here, I looked at the Edge racing wheels for my 90/91/92 V8  
and thought they where a good deal till I found out they where made in China,  
and are not TUV rated. Low pressure cast, no knowledge on testing standards,  
ect.
I do not want to bust on anyone's good or bad experience, but I have two  
kids and would not put rims on my car not really built to the standard (German  
in this case) our cars where built for.
I bought some TSW's for about 20.00 more per wheel, 2.5 pounds heavier, TUV  
rated.
Tires.com, no affiliation, just thought you might like an opinion, and as  
for food for thought.........yes, I almost bought the Edge racing wheels till I  
spoke with them...kinda scary...they didn't know S@#$%T , a topic for another 
 day.

Biggest things you need to look out for  (aside from aesthetics, of course)
are weight and strength.  I bought  a set of  Edge Racing Flik Lex wheels in
gloss titanium and really  like them.  Plus they were inexpensive.  They run
$150 ea. right  now, but they currently have less than 4 in stock.  Weight is
18 lbs.  5x112 bolt pattern and ET35  17x8

See:

What brakes  are you running?  Open-look wheels don't look so goo IMO with
UFO  rotors.

Another very nice wheel (though a bit on the hefty side) is the  bolero Audi
OEM wheel.  Special at World Impex $799 incl.  shipping
