wheel brands vs quality?

[g20_sports]

Hi, I don't know much about wheels but in market for a new set.
However, there are so many different wheel brands, and seems that each web site/company have their own brands. e.g. discout tire has carries different brands from tirerack.
I am completely confused.

Here are some brand I was looking, e.g.
Voxx, TSW, enkei, konig, rage, etc.

I am curious about, quality wise, what order do you think of these brands. I am sick of the OEM wheel, they are so soft, and bend very easily.

Thanks.

Your best bet is to get ahold of mep. He is the wheel guru and sells lots.

Actually OEM wheels are built well, IMO...

Those wheel you listed aren't exactly quality brands, except for Enkei and maybe Voxx(same as MAS Italia?) I'm sure Mep will chime in, he's the local wheel whore.

Actually Enkei is a very good wheel company. They just market the shitty ones here for some reason.

So you mean the Enkei wheel for sale in us is not that good. I am interested in Enkei MM2.

Also I like TSW Rib, look nice. Anyone have it?

TSW makes good strong wheels...however they're usually heavy beasts

When it boils down to it, aluminum alloy is simply easy to bend period. No single brand is impervious to pot hole damage, etc.

I would have to say that TSW, Enkei & Voxx are probably of a slightly higher quality than Konig & Rage... the two latter brands are mainly produced in Korea & Taiwan. Most Enkeis are made in Japan, TSW is a UK-based company, but the majority of their rims are made in South America I believe, & I believe all of the Voxx line does come from Italy. TSW & Voxx makes some beautifully finished rims, I can tell you that. Enkeis are very nice also, & Konig is probably a notch below them in the finish quality. Rage wheels are mostly machined with a clearcoat... a much cheaper process than powdercoating.

The Enkei MM2 is a fine choice...

No, the Enkei's made here arent of lesser quality. Just ugly designs.

Rotas make some quality rims for being generic, but i'd have to say prolly the best of the generic rims. If you want neck breakers get some Oz's or volx
