Default Brand name wheels or off-brand names

Which is the prefered wheel...brand name wheels or off-brand name. I have found some rims that I like. But I also found some that are just like it but not a name brand. Is the quailty in the nb wheels really worth their price. Or do you feel the onb wheel in the same style is just as good. Looking for opionions so that I can make a good desicion.

Thanks

Left off the manufactors names to protect the innocent

You usually Get what you pay for. See if you can find anyone with the same Off Brand Rims and check their durability down the road. Its not worth it to save a few hundred bucks when youll have to replace in a few thousand miles due to rust, corrosion, off balencing, etc.

Thats exactly what I was thinking....Even at 250.00 less than the name brand wheel, will the cheaper ones last as long as the pricer one. Just an idea...Look at wheel max and you'll see what I mean. I have never heard of exel or nex o before. As you may notice some of the wheels are almost exact copies of the name brand

Make your choice on what you can afford, that's really the best way to look at it.

save up your money and get the good stuff, no reason in buying no-name junk then having to replace it
