Speedline Cup Turinis = Overated?

[Day]

Am I the only one who is disappointed by the longevity of these rims?
Sure they maybe the best rim looks wise but long term ownership feels a chore.

I'm desperately in need of a second refurb as they seem to be bubbling again from the inside out again.

Never had this problem with the Renault/OZ F1s

Discuss.

depends how well they are refurbed i guess. theyre poor as new, but surely if there well refurbed they'l last pretty well unless they get kerbed etc.

Not really. I've had mine on now for about two years, and they all look in great condition (bar a small scuff GF fault ) still, no bubbling yet.

Chore to clean, i'll give you that. They usually only start bubbling if the paint is broken, the alloy then starts to react

But why more so than any other rim, that's what I don't get!

I had mine shot blasted and painted/baked and 3 years/30k miles they're still ok!

The only reason they bubble is due to getting chipped and people using acidic wheel cleaners on them. Use a decent non acidic cleaner on them and they should stay good for years.

mine seem to like falling apart,

pressure washed them a few months back and the paint was flying off
