Modified Magazine Wheel test
An interesting read
http://www.modified.com/tech/modp-09...ter/index.html
They compared most of the common wheels
like 5zigen fn01rc, ssr type f, volk re30, axis halo, AME T02
5zigen produced some of the faster times

I remember reading this when the mag hit the shelfs. Good concept for a test, glad someone posted it.
Still doesn't make fake wheels right if you can afford the real deal though :-D

LOL! FN's are an original design to my knowledge and not fake!
What I meant was, some people may justify a 1 second slower time to save themselves $600. Axis aren't the bottom of the food chain but with even less expensive wheels the savings will only grow greater. I threw a quick search into google shopping for kicks and buying axis halos over xt7's saves you a total of $650 total for a wheel that may or may not perform too much slower than a similarly designed authentic wheel.
Driver's skill makes many differences as such nearly negligible as well.

I have nothing against fake wheels, body kits, etc - they serve a certain portion of the market that would otherwise be vacant: inexpensive parts.
ross_dawg - Do you mean which would we realistically pay full msrp for?

RX8 & RX7 owner
5 zigens are nice but the RE30's and pretty light are nice too....Instead of the RE30's I would get the GT30's its a 3 piece wheel and looks almost like the RE30, both are RAYS.
