I think he means fake bolts maybe being lesser quality vs a 1 piece wheel that has no fake bolts, just pure wheel structure.

Idk maybe one of you two can shed some light? If I'm getting reps I really dont want to get the lowest/cheapest rep out there.

Afaik xxr reps don't have fake bolts





For street driving pretty much any rep is going to be fine. XXR, Rota, and Varrstoen are the main ones to look at.

Those dont, but 75% of their other models do.

These are going on your CR-V I'm assuming?

Under no circumstance will you ever go near breaking a wheel without going to a track or hitting something else, especially in a CR-V. Even then, every wheel will break under certain circumstances.

I used to run reps for daily driving and used my SSRs/Works/Advans for the track but now that I have a few sets I don't have to worry about destroying reps at the track (I also don't want to be mounting tires at the track) so I just mount all my tires and have a couple friends haul along what I can't fit in my car.

/e the 968s (the equip reps) are going to be one piece from what I've heard.

Its Maine. We have to deal with gigantic potholes, frost heaves, etc. Nn bending or cracking.

If you can avoid the bigger potholes, you'll be fine.

I've launched my car off an apex marker with the 526s on and they didn't bend/crack

What about frost heaves? They're pretty much unavoidable.

Can't give input to those because I haven't had to deal with them as of yet, but I'd imagine that as long as you don't plow through them at mach 3, you'd be fine
