The biggest thing you want to find out is what kind of casting technique are they using.
Gravity Casting is the least strong. Low Pressure Gravity Casting is what OEM's use for their rims. You want find a company that at least does low pressure casting. |

the rip off one's are typically heavier then their counterparts.
i mean rip off as in fake or reproduction. Not rip off as in over-priced authentic wheels
