They say that they DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE WHEELS OR ANY OTHER CHEAP CAST WHEELS for track use (and commented that the cheap knock-offs had a market for those who wanted "The Look" but didn't have or want to spend the money for a quality wheel). ...
Wow! ..and as Tom/khamul02 sez they are x-raying each for quality control? Wow. Stick a fork in this thread, it is DONE. (well, other than when the Rota fans chime in with photos of rally cars)

Good work DARISC. Your post about Pref-Prods (bad) experience speaks volumes.
