bendecker Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I was poking around today looking for a 4X140 miracle and came across this link: http://www.tradekey.com/selloffer_view/id/4303078.htm Looks like someone is still making pug replacement wheels (14-inch, not 15-inch). Wonder if there is a US distributor for them...? -Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Chinese tires are questionable at best, but you can buy them anywhere tires are sold.Those rims are from a chinese company with no us distributors. I wouldn't trust my life on them when quality 14 and 15" wheels are readily available.For looks you can have your hubs drilled out so it looks normal/nice.

baccaruda Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Importing those would probably cost more than machine work to drill rims or hubs, and the safety issue IS a bit of a wild card. China does make their own cars and such though. I'd try to get them spec'd out if you get some, to make sure they're safe... it's your money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Has anyone found out what they would cost? Off road, slow speeds they may work fine? No doubt they are not DOT approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 when i think of Chinese made car parts I always remind myself of how crap they are: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kQGAK550LE They dont build a dang thing to last, or that is safe.EVER. period.

Turbone Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I agree................ Jeff I love how most of the car is a crumple zone for the trunk ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 That last one is clearly a fake - take a look at the comments. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendecker Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 Between the lines in my original post was the assumption that if there was a US distributor, that they would be DOT certified (don't know if that is a requirement, but I'd like to think it would be). Definitely would never recommend wheeling on sub-par rims. I'd have to agree that a car would not crumple like that with an engine in it. A big block of steel like that doesn't magically disappear.
