SSR Comps are too weak and like to bend, I haven't heard any horror stories about Centerline RPM yet, but we will wait and see.

The moral of the story is, you get what you pay for. My TE37s amaze me with all the crap I've driven through, and yet they still stay round *knock on wood* But seriously, I don't know a single person on this forum that has ever bent a TE37.

as much as you guys love rays, for the money I think that Enkei has them all beat. you can get an 18in enkei that weighs 18lbs for 300 less a rim than a volk rim. I guess if you have the 1200 to lose 4-6lbs on your car, go ahead, I would just as well get rid of the spare on track day.
