Sportline CS.16 CSL long term quality

From what I can tell the Sportline CS.16 CSL are fantastic wheels for the money. Extremely strong and light weight while not costing a ton.

Now that they have been out for a bit, I was wondering how they have held up over time from owners. Have they been a quality wheel and held up with no peeling, etc?

From what I know, the Sportline CS.16 wheels are a solid setup. The wheels are rotary forged and are on par with some of the better wheels such as Forgesar, BBS, and Advan. They're not only light weight, but are also very strong. The wheels are also powder coated which is more durable than your standard painted wheel. Best of all, it's probably the most affordable rotary forged wheels out there that your money can buy! The information below is what I found from their website directly.

Our engineers use FEA simulations to ensure the weight optimization process does not sacrifice wheel strength. To ensure our wheels are ultra-lightweight and equally as strong, our Spun Forge product line is manufactured using only the highest grade aerospace aluminum.



Sportline wheels are tested and officially certified in Japan by JWL and VIA. During these test Sportline Wheels are subject to extensive Rotary Bending Fatigue, 13-degree Impact @ 0-degrres, 13-degree impact @ spoke, Radial Load Endurance and Radial Load Fatigue physical testing.



You'll always find companies saying that their wheels are JWL and VIA certified, but how many of them actually provide you with test results? There are only a few that I know of who stand behind their products and provide consumers this information! I think that goes a long way and it speaks volume about the quality of the product!

Never mind, only mod bargains sells them in the US. Refuse to order from them with the return policy they have.
