Are there any industry testing standards for aftermarket wheels? With wheels being made everywhere now I am curious as to how the quality in assured. I don't see a lot about wheels breaking, but with the forces that can be exerted it makes me think. Thanks!

I’d be more concerned about them bending beyond repair.

There are industry standards, but all these new Chinese brands aren’t getting certified.

wheels ain’t just breaking like that.

These are Speedway Dark Bronze from E5 wheels in Miami, Florida. They only make wheels for Corvettes and offer several different styles and finishes.

Can a mod close this thread since it is clear the Related Thread tool keeps popping up and C8 guys posting "aftermarket" wheels in a C6 thread that was asking about industry testing standards for aftermarket wheels?
