Anyone have any opinions about Akuza wheels, positive or negative, with respect to quality and strength? The only reason I ask is that I have a friend selling his off his '03 H2 for dirt cheap.

Thanks,

Pete

Are they THAT bad?

Well, I wasn't asking for opinions on their appearance, so I'm not sure how posting a pic would help.

Call Mike Davis Discount Tire in Houston at 713 783 4362 he sells that brand and knows alot about wheels. I have bought 5 sets of wheels from him over time.....

Wow, must have missed this little jab. I'm not sure that I said anything that was offensive with my post. A picture or a bit of information about the wheels you were asking about might have been nice to include in your original post. I actually did do some searching for info on these rims, but didn't find much..including a picture...and I was trying to bump your thread to see if someone else had some info that may have missed it....guess a I will try to be less helpful going forward.

Don't be tho thenthitive you two. I took no offense, and it wasn't a jab, just a straight-forward, honest response. I sincerely appreciate the effort, sfox; I just thought you might have misintepreted what I was looking for. I tried scouring the internet also, and came up with next to nothing (which is why I was asking here).

Hope all is cool now.

Thanks,

Pete

Sfox, here you go. This is the Akuza "Bounce" wheel, "cast aluminum, triple chrome plated"...

Is that based on appearance? Because if you re-read my original post, I asked for opinions with respect to strength and quality, not appearance. I did that because it doesn't matter to me what others like or dislike with regards to appearance; I do my own thing. But I appreciate your effort just the same.

With all that said, I took a good look at these wheels on my friend's H2 and decided I didn't like the way they looked, so it's now a moot point.

They are dirt cheap because they are cast aluminum---better wheels are forged aluminum--like Weld Evos---better balance, better chome finish, better overall specs for the wheels themselves.

PS. Triple chrome plated is a myth--it is a new buzz word because of the popularity of wheels and chome in the common market. All good chome has three plates--copper, nickle, chrome. There are not three coats of chrome.
