http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...966589362&rd=1

I just bought it. he says its champion speedline wheels but to me it looks more like kinesis f110.

well I was looking for f110 so I just buy it nowd.

Is that a good buy? please advise me.

I like them. Fair price. They are super light although I can't comment on the strength.

Well I asked this seller again and he told me kinesis quality is nowhere close to champion wheels.

So I just decided to believe him. He might get some more later but not soon.

I'm so happy with my purchase

Thanks for the pic. any blank turbo with 10 spoke?

I decided start partial to 10 spoke wheel since it is very light.

but I prefer 1 piece on 10 spoke wheels. but hey~

So they ripped off the Kinesis design, then manufactured a superior product? I suppose it's possible, but I'm skeptical.

They're not a "Champion Motorsport" product. I have Champion's catalogue and the closest wheel they make to this is the RS98. I believe they are made in the same factory as Champion's line of wheels - I think Peter from Wheel Experts told me this? They're probably Kinesis, but whatever they are, they look great.

i'm kind of amazed when people make statements like this wheel is so much more quality, so much stronger than X wheel...

what scientific tests do any of the claimants, even the vendors have to prove this?

absolutely nothing cuz no one's ever put $$$ into testing because guess what... HRE/Fikse/Kinesis/BBS/Champion/OZ they're all pretty much teh same thing.
