On ori AC Schnitzer Type III that I'm selling now. Hit a wood piece that must have drop from a trailler. I think it is about 2" thick. That is the thickness of my tyre. At that speed I dare not make any evasive movement, so just hit it and pray hard nothing happened. Reach KL and check the rims/tyre - no obvious damage. Came back and had a thorough check at the tyre shop. Slight dent on one of the rim at the inner lip. Tyre - no problem. Repaired and cost only RM70.00. I think if it is replica then as good as good bye.As supergrippen said, don't think you all drive less than 110 km/h with our highway. So why compromise on the most important part of the car. Remember the tyre and the rim is the only thing that in contact to the road.So, my advice again - don't compromise on rim and tyre. If you drive slow, which I doubt it, then take the replica but if you drive fast at 3 figure speed don't compromise because you might just compromise on the value of your life. Just my opinion. Please don't feel offended. Not because I'm selling my rims but there is also cheaper ori rims around, new or 2nd hand.Regards.</blockquote>
