I'm personally amazed at the craze for techart wheels. They are inferior to 3-piece forged wheels in every regard, yet people still buy them. Let's see:

1. They are cast wheels, not nearly as strong as forged.
2. They are very heavy, reducing the performance of your car.
3. They look like crap. Weird 5 spoke design with no lip does not flow with car lines at all.
4. They are poor value for the money. You're getting a cast wheel for the same price as forged wheels cost. Do people not understand the difference between the two or what?

i had formulas on my boxster before. beauty is in the eye of the beholder, i think they look great. don't knock the quality, they are made by BBS and i would recommend them over plenty of other choices out there.
