Anyone have any good/bad input on buying a set of 100 spoke knock off style wire wheels with the hex nut??A guy has a used set for sale but have heard a lot of good and bad things about this style of rim.Would they be any good on a Dailey driver and the occasional long trip or just end up being a headache????

Knockoffs have a bad rep for a good reason. Only if I had a mid year vette with them stock would I keep them. And they sell a look alike knockoff that is much safer for those same cars.

If you are talking the new low rider ones I ve had several sets over the years never had a problem but I re torqued every oil change (3000) miles

Yeah they are the newer low rider style,just wondering about them having issues with coming loose,or being hard to balance and not being true,they have been curbed a few times!!any problems with spokes coming loose or air leaks??

Depending on how bad curbed checked they are ? I ve only had one set of spoked wheels leak on me ,I just installed a tube and ran them
I prefer some tire stretch but not too much at the same time to much will cause bead too leak just a FYI
Balance issues I never had any that I can recall


I rotated every 3000 miles so I retourqed I don't recall them ever being loose ,except for one set but I think some one loosened it . my car had been broken into but I never checked the tires three days later a few studs broke this was not knock off style wheel .
It's been several yeas since I ran this style of wheel I kinda out grew them

Do you mean you re torque the hub or the outer nut?do you have to tighten the outer nut on a constant basis??
