There's a quality spectrum for reps also. Anyway, got it repaired locally. Looks like new. Even if I have to do this type of repair once a year, it'd still be 10 years before I matched the cost of a $4000 set of forged wheels. Are forged wheels stronger? Of course they are. Are they that much better to justify the cost? Not in my book, but to each his or her own...


Good, then don't make a pointless thread next time
