If you’re after new wheels but need advice on parts selection, these brands have become popular thanks to good customer outcomes and low failure rates. In my terminology the difference between mid-range and high-end is not a difference of precision but of materials and machining time (i.e. weight savings). I don’t recommend economy wheel parts in general. Except those brands marked with an asterisk, most are not sold here.
