Looking at lightweight wheels.. any thoughts on Fast Ccompetition FC-04?

[Bruno_s4]

The pricing is pretty incredible and my local tire shop says the quality is amazing.
Nobody comes back with bent rims, flaking paint or anything like that.
Seems to be a very inexpensive way to get a good looking 20 pound flow formed 19" wheel?

Thx

Only example I could find on an Audi:

I would be curious about where they are made, what kind of warranty they have, what certifications do they have (JWL, TUV, etc) etc etc. I have to assume from looking at the FastWheels website that they are made in southeast Asia like most other comparably priced flow-formed cast wheels on the market.

I like my Renn RS-51.

I'd say go for it Bruno. For sub $300 CAD per wheel for a flow formed weighing 20.2lb for 19x9.5", seems like a no brainer.
Good looking wheel too.

LOL exactly. Why bother starting another thread.

I did a full Audizine search on FAST FC04 and nothing came up?
Didn't see your post....

They are made in Taiwan. But apparently so are most other new Flow Forged wheels in the sub $2k price range.
Would love some HRE but I could take the money savings over to my BBK fund.

Added some pictures to get more opinions...

[DannyDeez]

Fair enough. I actually think they look pretty good, especially on that black car. Any link to them? Honestly too lazy to google it :)

Yes, most flowforms are made in the Far East. HRE flowforms are actually made by Enkei [eek]

So, because they might be made over there doesn't necessarily indicate they are poor quality. If others have had good experiences with the brand, that's a positive indication and I'd go for them. For that price, even if they only last a year or two, not a terrible loss. Like SteveYem said, just look at the fine print and do some further investigating just to make sure!

These wheels are also now available in Matte bronze

They might have had 30 of the matte bronze in stock but they are always getting more in. What size are you looking for and for? For a B8 S4?

I got those same wheels and like them a lot. spun up real nice, no vibrations. Only thing I learned was you need be very careful when parking, as even the tiniest scrub will damage the wheels. Because of the design, the spokes protrude past the tires, even ones with rim protectors on them.
