the strength of fake/knockoff wheels is usually similar but at a higher weight and thickness. BUT they will likely be more prone to bending/cracking with impacts.
Stitches are on the outside of Sparcos so when it burns it cauterizes on the outside, adding another layer of protection, rather than having a valley to allow weather* in.
It's actually more of a comfort thing so that you don't have the stitching bunching up by your fingers higher quality motorcycle gloves do it, and they aren't made for fire resistance.
Holy shit! At 6:28 my dad had that shift knob on his 98 F150 and growing up I thought it was so cool to press the button to make the eyes glow, and then one day when I was older he bought a new shift knob but the skeleton one meant so much to me from all the memories I had driving with him that I took it and I have it somewhere in my closet right now in a safe box.
Honestly, the adhesive being off-square on the badge had me thinking, "yeah, sounds about right for Ferarri quality." Not saying they don't make amazing cars, bit the fit and finish, especially on older ones, back in the '80s and earlier could be quite bad at times.
Fun fact: Checking for "Made in XYZ" stamps is a good way to figure out if your product is counterfeit or not for weird legal reasons. Nardi is an Italian company, so is Sparco. Nardi wheel had a proper stamp while Sparco harnesses said American made. Works really well with Advan rims. Counterfeit ones all say "Japan Forged" or "Japan Made" but never "Made in Japan"
there are few other counterfeit product company that brave enough to stamp made in japan .. i’ve owned fews and only their material quality differ them apart from the real products .. design wise look pretty legit .. don’t get fooled
My favorites are the ones that say "Assembled in the USA" usually combined with something along the lines of "from international components/materials". To say that's intentionally vague would be an understatement. 😏
Oh man, blast from the past. Im going to go watch the my own summer music video, I havent heard it in decades. PS. OK, it's trippier than I remember, but still good
I remember back in the late 2000's Australia had an issue with a few shipments of brake pads being fake and service centres were unknowingly putting dodgy pads in. Some were made of grass clippings and caught fire
Idea: separate the three lads with some dividers. Give 2/3 real parts, and one a knockoff. Let them discuss why they have the fake or why they have the real part. They know 2/3 have real parts, so some strategy may be used to trick the other into thinking they may indeed have the genuine part. Chaos ensues!!!
Ever mounted Mickey Thomson off road tires, I was never more disappointed in how much weight I had to stick on, and they rode like crap and make more noise than cheap old buckshot mudders.
On your next real versus fake, please purchase the real version and the fake version to compare differences , and then destroy the fake one on camera and possibly even giveaway pieces of the destroyed one- It will help educate your audience on what to look for if they can see the real one at the same time as the fake one, thanks guys , love your videos 😎👍
I'd love to see these three together more on camera, everyone at donut is prime, but this trio is super fluid and natural feeling, the only one missing is Jimmy. Assuming those laces are tied.
Jeremiah’s dramatic shifts hit me so hard it took me back to when I owned a 91 mercury capri with a 5 speed and I was hight on acid and who knows what else and thought I was a nascar driver banging gears.
Oh yes please. Torture test the rims and tires. A little shock value can go a long way toward education in these tough financial times! Great video by the way!
Bro I'm not even a car guy and I'd give my left nut to spend a day working with Donut. Such amazing guys and an awesome team. I can only imagine how much fun it must be to work together, let alone that you're all incredible at what you do!
Yes make the video for the Enkei RPF1! I watch donut videos anytime I can and honestly I’ve learned the same amount if not a ton more watching you guys even on Snapchat more than when I rebuilt my current car. Keep going guys! 🤙
It seems to me that with legit harnesses and straps, the stitching is usually a contrasting thread color. That would help see if stitches were damaged.
Just an idea on how to make the game a little more interesting. - Give the three 'contestants' three items at once which could have any number of fakes (from none to all three). They have 90 seconds to look at and discuss the three items as much as they want. - At any time a contestant can make final decision on one of the items being real or fake (for fun, have them push a button that turns on a green light for real or red light for fake and they can't change their mind). The item is then 'locked' and can't be picked by the other contestants. - They continue until all three items are locked, one item for each contestant with their guess if it's real or fake. If they run out of time they get 0 points for the round. - Before the real/fake results are revealed, they each make a guess on the items the other two contestants have. - The results are read and points are awarded as follows: 2 pts for guessing your own item correctly, 1 pt for each other item you guessed correctly, and a -1 pt penalty if you guess your own item wrong. - For added fun, tally up the costs of the items and you could use it as a tie-breaker if needed. Every time they guessed real/fake correctly it's a positive ("money well spent" or "cash saved"), but every time they guess incorrectly it's a negative ("sucker buckers", or "do you even know cars bro?"). The idea behind this is that if you have a good eye and know what to look for you can lock in the easy item quickly and get more points, but if you locked it in too fast with a bad guess you could get hit with a penalty. On the other hand, if you're too slow you'll get stuck with the last (and presumably most difficult) item to guess, or get a 0 for running out of time. Should be fun, give it a try off camera and see what you think.
I only got the Steering Wheel & The Ferrari emblem wrong. At least i didn't get wrong on the most safety-related items. xD 8:25 If you look closely at the ring screw it's VERY obvious it's cheap. Blue-ish cast texture alloy are always cheap and this alloy should never be use on items for safety or support/hold something heavy.
I keep preaching that there's nothing wrong with reps as long as you don't flex or try to sell it as real on top of it also not endangering you and breaking on the freeway.
Counterfeit parts make their way into heavy machinery too and often through the manufacturer's own service networks... It can be difficult to tell the difference just by looking and some of the parts can be seriously dangerous.
@@Sourman1545 Yeah build quality is questionable at best... I've been in a few Teslas, one that was delivered pretty recently and they leave a lot to be desired. Now that there's serious competition from the Germans and the Koreans I can't see why you'd buy one unless it was an emotional decision... The Koreans have the best manufacturing processing in the world, take it from the people who know. My old man was the global director for Stahl Chemicals leather and automotive finishing division and had a lot to do with helping Hyundai set up Genesis. He always said nobody is better at quality control than the Hyundai group, they had never made their own leathers in house and he said they had it absolutely nailed within two years and for an outfit that size that's unbelievable. He reckoned they make the best leather products on the planet now and the fit and finish is every bit as good as the best of the Germans or the British. Goes to show how much a badge can influence the perception of quality. It take a blindfold to really make a decision using your head over your heart... And cars are very emotional things.
Pro tip: Most part manufactures websites have a link to a list of there certified dealers , also while using eBay or Amazon you can select the seller and also Vet that the seller is the correct verified certified dealer of the product by checking out there page and cross referencing the contact info to the contact info of the dealers website or store location. You can even give them a message or call to there website or store info and ask if its there listing and shore up any unknown.
Jeremiah's reaction to the rotor reminded me of Bender in Futurama when he steals an engagement ring "the counterfeit is actually very nice. It might cost more than the real ring. I really went all out on it. It's my wedding present to them."
Also with the sparco belt the amount of stitches at each end is also a tell sign that it's counterfeit. The real ones have a significant more amount of stitching.
i would love to see the wheel video, i have considered reps in the past but i am still in the process of saving up for real wheels and the price on the reps is lookin mad nice
I've had both the real and still have the fake enkei reps and I guarantee the mst reps I have are great... Been drifted for years still hold up great...BUT! Those might not be mst...my mst don't need that much weights.
Nolan you boss!!!!!!! You just went up even higher in my books for the deftones t-shirt 😎😎😎 you absolute G!!!!!!! Love the content boys,,,,keep it up 🤓
manufacturer instructions say to service it every 50,000-100,000 miles depending on the specific filter & driving conditions. K&N definitely knows their filters a lot better than you do
I remember seeing some guy with fake BBS’s on the highway his wheel just exploded and shot shrapnel into his cabin. Lesson learned, don’t buy shitty wish wheels
That story sounds faker than the BBS reps lol 🤣. Shooting shrapnel into the cabin? If you saw him on the highway, how do you know that shrapnel "shot" into his cabin? 🤔 Did his tire explode too? 🤨
The real vs fake wheels debate in the community is strong. I'd love to see a torture test of a real, rep, fake and OEM wheel. PS: when I refer to "reps" I mean wheels by different brands which are inspired by the real wheel, whereas a fake is a blatant counterfeit copy
I personally chose Ford and Chevrolet products over every other car companies here in US. Car technology is growing everyday where the manufacturers tend to feed the public with there physical features and material needs while great number of billionaires invest in the company and make generational wealth within a short period through buying of huge stocks
You are very correct! Consistently investing in high quality dividend paying REITs, Tech and Car companies over the long term is a relatively easy strategy to create generational wealth.
On the fake Sparco racing harness, another tell could be that the threaded anchors look like they’re cast and unfinished (meaning there was not a post process conducted, like machining, to improve the condition of the part from the imperfections of the casting process). Cast components tend to have brittle failure modes and are not great when loaded in tension (i.e., the force of the belt against the anchor when the car crashes).
This a great video fellas. I was expecting great to see comparisons from the fake and real stuff. Hopefully we can get more videos like that in the future.
I want to hear, from Donut, a for-sure yea or nay on the Nardi wheel! Also, thankfully, it's going to be tough to get onto a racetrack for any event sanctioned by any of the major reputable organizations (FIA, SCCA, NHRA, etc), as they should fail the tech inspection pretty conclusively before the car sets tires on the track.
For the Sparco racing harness, when I saw that it said “Made in usa” with USA all lowercase, that was a red flag. I don’t know if “usa” is used, but everything I remember seeing with that tag is either has “USA” or “U.S.A.” From the tag alone, my guess was it was counterfeit.
PLEASE DO A CHEVY MONZA VIDEO, IM TRYNA SEE IF ITS WORTH IT AND YOURE THE ONLY ONES WHO SHOW WHAT I WANNA SEEE PLEEEAASEEE. 1979 CHEVY MONZA 2+2 base is what im looking at but theres so many more options itd be a cool vid i think
The Ferrari badge is a tough one because it's changed so much over the years. Some years the front legs are touching, some are overlapping, or there are ones like this where there is yellow in between them.
I think this is the first time in my life that I saw a sponsorship for a product that I already use, at our mechanics workshop we already use these parts
The arse on those fake Jordans was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Surely that must have been intentional! Embroidery isn't usually that anatomical lol.
When they pointed to the improperly applied adhesive on the Ferrari badge, I was like "Yea, but Italian super cars aren't that well built, so it makes sense for it to be slightly off."
You need to do a Fake vs Real Wheel torture test, and see how bad it is. Make the impact with the community!!
Fake vs Real dicknballs torture test ft. James and nolan dick n balls
Do it like the helmet torture test back in the day!
Great !
Absolutely there's tons of products that are unknown if they work or not
the strength of fake/knockoff wheels is usually similar but at a higher weight and thickness. BUT they will likely be more prone to bending/cracking with impacts.
When Jerry was shifting, I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Again, kudos to the brilliant editors.
damn lol i didnt think other people would have cracked up as much as I did to that
My first clue to the racing harness being fake was that "Made in usa" wasn't capitalized as USA.
This 100%. That stood out right away.
Whats up with these scammers?
That's the only thing I noticed
My exact thought while seeing that in the video.
Also Sparco is Made In Italy so everything was off lmaoo
Stitches are on the outside of Sparcos so when it burns it cauterizes on the outside, adding another layer of protection, rather than having a valley to allow weather* in.
It's actually more of a comfort thing so that you don't have the stitching bunching up by your fingers higher quality motorcycle gloves do it, and they aren't made for fire resistance.

Most Italian products are like this
Having sat in a 1981 308 GTS, this was my thought exactly
Yeah “looks really good on the front but the back is pretty janky” felt like a dead giveaway that it was real Italian quality.
for a real challenge, do an Aftermarket versus genuine OEM part 🤭
This could be the premise for an entire RUclips channel. Then again donut puts out so much content, they could probably fit it in.
oem+> aftermarket
That should be pretty obvious though, unless they file off the parts numbers, logos etc...
@@eddieru not always true. There are lots of aftermarket parts that supersedes OEM. We call them upgrades.

I worked at tire shop for🌲 years and I’ve seen some high quality wheels that required 4-5 ounces on just the outside alone..
I remember balancing a wheel, adding the weight, rebalancing, adding more weight on and on because I kept messing up with where I put them.

On the fake Sparco racing harness, another tell could be that the threaded anchors look like they’re cast and unfinished (meaning there was not a post process conducted, like machining, to improve the condition of the part from the imperfections of the casting process). Cast components tend to have brittle failure modes and are not great when loaded in tension (i.e., the force of the belt against the anchor when the car crashes).
Damn. I got Brembo brakes from RockAuto and now I'm wondering if they are legit. They were cheaper than I expected.
They're fake if they're cheap, readily available, and overstocked.
This a great video fellas. I was expecting great to see comparisons from the fake and real stuff. Hopefully we can get more videos like that in the future.
love from nz
I want to hear, from Donut, a for-sure yea or nay on the Nardi wheel!
Also, thankfully, it's going to be tough to get onto a racetrack for any event sanctioned by any of the major reputable organizations (FIA, SCCA, NHRA, etc), as they should fail the tech inspection pretty conclusively before the car sets tires on the track.
I have been calling it bride 👰 all my life 🤦🏼
For the Sparco racing harness, when I saw that it said “Made in usa” with USA all lowercase, that was a red flag. I don’t know if “usa” is used, but everything I remember seeing with that tag is either has “USA” or “U.S.A.” From the tag alone, my guess was it was counterfeit.
This was really cool and gives us buyers good insight. I’d like to see another episode.

The Ferrari badge is a tough one because it's changed so much over the years. Some years the front legs are touching, some are overlapping, or there are ones like this where there is yellow in between them.
I think this is the first time in my life that I saw a sponsorship for a product that I already use, at our mechanics workshop we already use these parts
The arse on those fake Jordans was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Surely that must have been intentional! Embroidery isn't usually that anatomical lol.
When they pointed to the improperly applied adhesive on the Ferrari badge, I was like "Yea, but Italian super cars aren't that well built, so it makes sense for it to be slightly off."
Yes real vs fake wheel test! That's gonna make for an awesome video
