@NitroYellowMKV or die!

..because you might literally DIE with an inferior wheel, but hey, that $400 you saved can be put towards your funeral expenses, and your grieving family will appreciate that.

Where is your proof of them being dangerous at all ?????? A million of aftermarket wheels for years on cars with no problems with airbags or anything, please don't talk and spread rumors when you don't have a clue what you're talking about, because someone reading that might think you know what you're talking about.

Also a big fan of @NitroYellowMKV Wheels, heres the one he custom built for me (notice the lack of cut outs for the thumb. I hated those and he had it custom built without them)

I later changed to a Whirl Carbon G-series retrofit wheel, not that there was ANYTHING wrong with the other one, however I am insane and had to keep messing.

There are plenty of videos online show casing the dangers of cheaply made wheels,

But especially for modern airbag cars, the tolerances are extremely tight and specific and airbags are very extensively designed to deploy a certain way, when using aftermarket cores you compromise That, as well as strength, in An accident the steering wheel is a crucial point and and if it folds Over and twists you open a whole new can of worms.
Remember the Oem has spent literally millions making a safe and tested core, if I’m going to put my name and liability behind a product, using an Oem core is much safer for everyone involved, yes it raises the prices significantly, but what is your safety worth ti you?

Good sales pitch, but not buying it sorry, was in auto body for over ten years and NEVER saw an aftermarket wheel cause a problem ever with the airbags or anything safety wise. And believe me the insurance adjuster looks for anything and everything. Agree to disagree, you're coming from a sales and making money approach and I'm coming from my experience and statistics period. And I don't even have an aftermarket wheel on my supra either!!

Not a sales pitch, it is a fact, go look at Rexspeed wheels and see how well they fit, how flimsy they are, try and bend one and see what happens, it is a very clear safety aspect and has nothing to do with me making money or not, I could make 50% more profit by switching to to an aftermarket core, if it was just about the money, trust me I would lol. It would make my life 100x easier, no more waiting for OEM wheels to be bought, modifying their shapes to match customers requests, etc.
