the wheels I posted are Miro M6 replicas
I drive in chicago our roads arent the greatest, but I drove 3 months on miro m6 reps, you see the results above, and after that I have driven with morr vs8's on the same exact roads, same exact conditions, and they are perfectly fine.... perhaps if you live in an area with wonderfully perfect smooth roads everywhere, you should get these reps....but then again, I dont think that exists, so what does it matter where you live and where I drove

I ask the questions you're afraid to ask.

Yep - folks that live in major cities can't really drive with 19" wheels and not worry about their wheels, NYC, Chicago, Boston and DC all have really crappy roads that will take their toll on wheels and suspensions. California used to have glass smooth roads too - no longer the case, but any major city that has snow will have lousy roads and are only suited to 17 and 18" wheels (and 18's are a stretch for places like NYC where the streets are worse than the roads in Kabul)

My exclusive alloy M3 reps have held up to some pretty big potholes. I don't see the purpose in spending the extra $$ if I don't have to?? Been running them for over a year and a half no problems...

I drive on the same roads every day, I dont have a choice where I drive. I didnt crack one or two miros, I cracked 6. thats not a driver error. Its not a matter of being careful, its a pure fact of construction one is shitty cast and bent on the slightest imperfection in the road, the others are 8000 ton forged...you get the quality that you paid for in construction albeit im sure the miro m6 reps would be fine on perfect pavement, find me a city with perfect pavement
