UA wheels. Rep 611m.

Anyone have any experience with a company called UA wheels? These are on eBay for an extremely good price. 611m reps. My concern is the strength of the wheel over other options.

Structural integrity of rep wheels will always be a concern. You can of course inquire with the seller as to whether the wheels have any relevant certifications, but that is prob a longshot. I don't have experience with reps, but from what I understand, they are likely going to be more susceptible to bending than OEM. There is a vendor here who sells low-pressure cast (which is superior to gravity cast, which is how most ebay wheels are manufactured) 611m reps for about the same price. You may want to follow-up with them first. Good luck.

These wheels are just as strong as oem. But not any stronger.

Someone posted about a 22" 611m rep on here. I think it's in the 22" wheel thread. Haven't seen any complaints from them since.

Unfortunately, I can't find these in a 22" now, otherwise I'd be tempted to snatch some up.

EDIT: Correction, they were 612m reps in 22", but I do believe they were from the same wcstylewheels.
