Cheap alloys? Worth it?

koutoubia

So had a 'puncture' that turned out to be a cracked alloy. Didnt have the time to get it welded so went to Audi to price a new one.
A grand. For one alloy.
And not in stock for at least 2 days.
So onto Adverts and got a nice set of alloys ,19 inch, for 600.
Was whatsapping a mate while getting them fitted and he reckoned it was cheap.very cheap.
So should I expect them to fail like cheese in a toaster or are they decent enough. Working on the assumption they are chinese!


Thoughts and experiences good or bad?

You can get alloys welded for about €75 or so. Any decent place will have a spare set for you while it's being done.

Do you have a link for the advert of the alloys?

I wouldn’t touch them.
Bit late for that now.

Mainly german brand alloys on the above link, half those replicas are from china and made of fairy dust!

Thanks Colm.

I will get the crack repaired and will start to get new rubber on them , probably need new rubber by the summer, then switch them back and flog the new ones!

Probably be alright if you don't hit a pothole
