Anyone ever see an Agency Power wheel? Made in Germany, look awesome.

If you call made in Taiwan top quality! They look good but are cheap, I think this like most things is a you get what you paid for. My opinion so please dont blast me...more to follow.

The other option is MACarbon and they offer exceptional quality carbon parts.

Agency Power wheels average about $1200 I would say. Call Scott at Vivid Racing, here in the Phoenix area. Very helpful! I was adamant about quality, with price being 2nd. I personally am much more comfortable about getting a quality product from Germany than in Taiwan.

With that said, a lot of the exhaust components marketed by German tuners are indeed made in TW. I would advice not to knock the quality of a product just because it is made in TW. I'm not entirely sure that AP's wheels are really made in Germany either as someone else pointed out already. I would advise going with the MACarbon wheel if money is not of concern for you.

AP wheeels are made in Germany, I did some research and in fact they are. Lets face facts, Taiwan is not known for quality. This is a whole different subject which I will shine light on at a later date - for a reason.
