This video deserves way more views.

[@elplatanazo87]

The best answer is BUY MOAR WHEELS! period!!!

[@TSiSS350]

Fun video. I will say the one correction I would make is that Enkei was not the parent company of Work. They would produce wheels for other manufacturers under license and stamp their logo in the back. Work, Wolf Racing, Riken and Hoshino just to name a few well known ones.

[@TheCurbCut]

Ah! So when designs would come in from other companies, Enkei would produce them and add their stamp to the back to ensure quality??

[@RaymondATCarroll]

Love this and I had no idea how much you love the “fuchs”, you mentioned them many times during the video. 😂

[@legendofspeed118]

Thanks for the tips

[@carson7223]

Love the video! Super enchanting

[@1st_Gen_Life]

Great video 👍

[@christianruiz8347]

Bravo 👏.

Nice video!! Just a quick correction I’d like to point out, the Japanese characters used on product boxes are more often “Katakana” as opposed to “Kanji”. Katakana characters are used to translate English or other words foreign to Japanese, for example “ロンシャン” (seen on the side of the box in 05:28 )= LONGCHAMP. Learning how to read Katakana would be very beneficial when reading Japanese magazines and products!!

Ok wow! Blushing at my ignorance here, but thank you for the knowledge. Much appreciated! 🙏🏻

[@boomboomtisk]

@@TheCurbCut no worries! Love the content brotha, keep it up👍👍

[@amywerman1098]

Thank you John and Jared! So glad I saw this because I was about to buy the shitty aftermarket wheels! Great video!

[@icemansouthpole9393]

Thanks for that video 👍🏼 The pictures of the broken rims were shocking somehow, never seen that before... But what kind of rims you got on your Honda N600 in the background? They even look awesome!🔥

[@StevenTelvi-xr7bp]

Great video! Where are you guys located in Brooklyn??

[@TheCurbCut]

Shop is in Greenpoint. Feel free to contact [e-mail] with any shop questions!

[@asdedas]

Why did you put the ROTA brand when you say scam?

[@TheCurbCut]

Best we can offer you on ROTA is “a successful commercial band that sells low-quality, replica wheels”

[@melvinbrumski1446]

If you’re on a tight budget and absolutely NEED wheels, widened steelies are a better route than repops.

[@TheCurbCut]

Absolutely agree. Not enough people doing that either! 💯
