TIA

Doesn't give me a lot of confidence when they are made in China and they (the Chinese manufacturer) forge the German TUV paperwork. WTH
Maybe forge is the wrong word.
They try to trick you into believing it's German TUV certified when it's only TUV Rheinland China certified (whatever the heck that's supposed to be or mean?)

Pelican thread has opinions and questions,no real fact or evidence the wheels have been misrepresented by the maker......yet.

Seems they are used for racing in Europe so they would need to meet some sort of standard for the scrutineers of such events surely.
Rennlist states a member contacted them direct about specs,he was told the weights of the wheels and that they were a low pressure cast wheel to TUV standard.

However my wheels have no such markings on the rear or paperwork to indicate this.
I bought mine with an open mind as to there quality and was pleasantly surprised .

No race series over here that I've heard of takes any interest in what brand of wheel you put on your car. Thats entirely up to the driver/team.

Aftermarket parts you put on your street car in Germany has to pass a TUV certification however and those demands are strictly reinforced.

I dont doubt for a second the Chinese would invent their own TUV Agency to promote sales of their own products. Here in Europé we have a CE (Conformité Européenne) marking on electrical goods, toys, industrial machinery etc and that shows that the product meets the European safety standards. China made their own marking that looks exactly the same but the meaning of it is "China Export"
