There are a number of products out there that "some" consider "junk" because it isn't at a "rolex" price point. The first that comes to mind is the DGI/ Speedtech exhaust that has simply blown away those who've bought it, and stacks up against the competition, such as Europipe.

The OEM stock GT3 6 piston caliper is used across the board on many of the fastest and best cars. Yet some will poopoo them and tell you that the only brake out here is the Brembo big brake upgrade setup...

Now Victor Equipment wheels are being pissed on... Don't get me wrong, I have seen CCWs (Have a set sitting in my garage right now, on another car), and I don't think anyone will argue that BBS would be the top shelf pick, along with Fiksi and HRE. But there are guys here who can't swing $6K for wheels and tires... There are guys here who have families, other responsabilities, and simply put want a decent compromise...

Don't **** on those who can't or won't swing the baller money on products that don't fit their needs. It says a lot about everything.

You're a total contradiction, man! The wheels are TUV rated and certainly lighter than the OEM stockers I have. Stronger, lighter, and still hammered as junk...

I'm glad a reputable vendor like TIRERACK stepped up and gave constructive comments that were useful!
