As ugly as the other kits out there. Nothing, absolutely nothing, flows with the lines of the car. Are they all blind?

Just look at the circled areas... WTF.

Yup, it looks like crap. All these kits are nothing but copies and moving some points around. No Ingenuity.

This because because this no different than 99% of "forged wheel" designs that WILL fail when pushed. There's only a handful of actually trackable wheel brands out there.

I never had failures with forged aluminum wheels. I track and daily on them on bad roads too and never had them bent or cracked.

Check this out, you don't see many wheel brands posting such tests.

I agree that all the kits out there do not follow the lines of the car but , on the other hand Vorsteiner's kit has fixed the design issue to let it flow with the body lines but the diffuser they made is way overboard.

That's great you haven't had any problems. I'm not calling this company out in particular. I'm just talking about the industry as a whole. A lot of assumption and questionable design
