Hello guys, I have a question about some of the wheels that I have been seeing on this site. Are wheels like Fiske and CCW really worth the extra money. I mean not saying that they are not killer looking wheels, but what is the advantage to these wheels? Weight is a factor I am sure. Is strenght a factor as well? The reason I am asking is because I am looking at a set of the Coys 17"ers and do not want something that is not going to hold up to some abuse, but the price is looking awfully tempting. What do you think?

Thanks,
Ryan

Coys are cast in China, the 2 piece forged wheels are machined and welded in the US.
The importers will over build wheels to get the DOT certifation, so they are often quite heavy,
Worth every penny difference to me to get a forged two or three piece wheel.

CCW classics are a great value.
