I am going to buy some new wheels for my car in the near future and i just wondered if anyone could tell me if there is a difference in quality between the revolution wheels and the revolite wheels and which ones are the best.

I was looking at a white set, but i couldn't see a set of revolutions in this colour, do they not do them in white?

Thanks

I don't think Revolution do white wheels (I want some too!) and I'm sure the quality will be very similar, so I think it will be much easier to buy the white Revolites rather than buy some Revolutions and spray them white.

...however I'm not actually sure about any of the things I just said...

personally i wouldn't go anywhere near the revolites, they are just copies of the original revoloution wheels, and when they first came out revoloution ran an ad campaign showing what happened to them when they hit a curb, revoloutions had a lump out of them, the revolites completely smashed up, with the spokes all broken!
the advert implied that the revoloutions are tested properly, and that the revolites weren't.

Revolutions are solid wheels, but even so, revolites must be made upto a standard which is appropriate for road use or they would not be able to be sold.

Even if revolutions only come in black, you could always paint them !

Revolutions are a far better quality wheel, you only have to look at them to see how much better made they are than the revolite.

Go for the revolution IMO (that's what I 've got, flogged my revolites as they were past their best)
