When I bought my car it had a set of Tork Revo(?) wheels on it, the previous owner told me they were guaranteed never to bend, and were close to $300 a wheel.

I have never heard of this wheel before and was looking for people who know something I don't or have had some experience with them; whats the story? Are they low-quality, cool, Dunno anything so any help would be appreciated.

There is no such thing as a wheel thats has a guarante to never bend that is clearly impossible that was just a lie.. Unless there is a certain situation that has to take place. But in your case at $300 a wheel its very unlikely of any such warranty..

Bottom line if you hit a curb moving fast enough with a low pro tire.. Then the wheel is broke/bent/busted one of the 3 "B's"..

The guy just simply lied.. I have never heard of that type of wheel.

No, I'm aware we head feeding me s***, that's not what I'm after...

What my question was, was has anyone heard of or used them? I did google and searched NICO, scant mention aside from Corporate Propaganda... No concrete reviews, but then again I wasn't scrolling through 14 pages of irrelevant data...

Just asking if anyone knew anything; ie are they any good? I mean they are 18 in wheels, with a gloss black face and chrome lip... They don't look bad on a Black S14. I just wasn't sure what the deal was. I mean everyone knows Sportmaxx and SSR, and Work, but I've never heard of these before like a Pep Boys so I didn't think they were bargain wheels or anything, but no one seems to know much?

Never heard of Tork dude, but as long as they don't explode or weight 30lbs each, no worries?

I'm not familiar with them either, but I doubt that any warranty that originally came with them exists now. If you think about, the seller was likely BSing you about them being guaranteed not to bend. What company do you know of would replace a wheel for free if you slam it into a curb stop?

Ho hum Euro brand. Previous owner had craptastic taste. They don't make a single damn wheel in a good S14 size. Who cares what their rep is when their sizes suck so hard? They look heavy as hell too.

$300 per wheel isn't exactly impressive either. Kinda middle of the road pricing. Get rid of them.
