And where exactly in that quote does it say wheels made in China are rubbish? Here. Safety and Confidence with RAYS Wheels – Genuine Branded Wheels Japanese industrial products are in a state of crisis. Even in the aluminium wheels segment, the truth is that cheap Asian products imitating popular brands and designs dominate the Japanese market. These products, as a result of being mere copies of the industrial designs to which other brands have invested significant time and money, often fail to meet safety component quality requirements, threatening drivers’ safety. The Italian government, which considers this situation critical, was the first government to announce a recall on Chinese made fake wheels, and the European Union (EU) has triggered safeguards to address this problem (e.g Levying punitive tariffs). Chinese made replicas have become a global issue. Particularly serious in the Japanese market is an influx of large numbers of aluminium wheels with quality and safety problems. These inferior aluminium wheels destroy the healthy culture surrounding car customisation and jeopardise the users who enjoy such culture. In order to protect all of RAYS users who love their cars from this situation, RAYS has stuck to its policy of manufacturing products only in Japan. Furthermore, based on their JW+R strength standards which RAYS have long applied, they manufacture all their wheels across various line-ups with a focus on absolute safety. RAYS certainly offers a full array of specialised wheels in their relentless pursuit of lightness, strength and beauty, what is most important is that each and every one of RAYS customers is able to confidently fit RAYS wheels on his or her car and enjoy the ride and forget about safety relating to fake wheels. RAYS maintains the high quality of its products and protects its brands with dual policies: Made in Japan and Made by RAYS. This is RAYS true commitment to their customers – those who love the wheels – and it is RAYS way of ensuring long term health of the car customisation industry.

not but this is how 99% of OEM road car wheels are made Again from eBay own site. Factory wheels are subjected to some of the most stringent road tests available to make sure they stand up to hundreds of thousands miles of abuse, potholes and such. They also go through what is called a salt spray test and many other tests to make sure the finish will stand up to road salts, chemicals and other elements. All of these tests are extremely expensive and virtually no replica wheel manufacturer does any of them. The finish on replica wheels is usually of the cheapest design with no testing done whatsoever so they can be made as cheap as possible.

This is from eBays own site. Replica wheels are made using the cheapest manufacturing method available (gravity casting). This is when molten aluminum is simply poured into a mold and allowed to cool off. This method results in a wheel that has lesser density aluminum, since no pressure is applied (most factory wheels use a what's called low pressure casting method). What this really means is that the replica wheels are much more likely to get bent or cracked, since they are made from much weaker, more porous material. We have seen this happen over and over again. And it certainly isn't Casual Racism.

If they are made in China its a bad idea..

Good luck in your search, how much do you want to spend ?.

Best to call your insurer and ask them, or better still email them and then you will have their reply in writing .

Both equally as good, it was the fact that Ros could do it while I waited and he's 5 mins from the M25 also there is a lovely pub to camp out in and have some lunch..

Do they make a convertible one in the V6 ?
