Default Anyone ever heard of Azul wheels?

I'm in the market for wheels and tires. I've been looking at the Azul Speed-6 here: http://www.1010tires.com/wheel...Black

I've tried googling the brand and searching through forums but I can't find out anything about them. They don't seem to have a website.

Anyone have any knowledge of the brand name and can tell me what the quality is like?

i don't know much but i think it's ironic that of the two things the wheels offer - value and weight saving, one is missing. the site lists no weight

have you checked out tirerack.com before? it's a better site.

They look like cheap ricey rims IMO.

Very ugly, and look VERYYYY heavy.

Try looking for something a little less ricey, and a little lighter.

To be honest, I wouldn't buy rims from 1010tires at all. Nothing there is really of the quality that I desire. I'd shop at a more exclusive shop than those "bargain basement" shops.

I would buy at 1010tires before WheelsNext, any day. WheelsNext sells nothing but cheaply made "bargain" items.

yes.

Lets just put it this way.

90% of the rims that are cheap, are cheap for a reason. They are GARBAGE.

THere is 1 CHEAP wheel i would highly recomend tho. And that is...

Falken Hanabi

15x7 = 11.5 lbs
17x7.5 = 17lbs

VEry light wheels.

U can also buy them at 1010tires.com for cheap!

Anything Tenzo makes is garbage. Haven't you seen some of their products? Looks like it was made by a blind guy.
