Affordable vs Cheap Car Parts

Can you do a video on brands that are otherwise lesser known, but are quality, such as HSD coilovers?

speaking on a personal level, as someone who owns a set of vors and has for the past 5 years now this speaks loudly, with that being said as much as myself would love to own a set of work wheels its hard to justify spending more on wheels than i did for the entire car they would be going on. while just a few years ago you'd never see anyone proudly supporting those brands they've never done myself wrong, on other hand just like you've mentioned I've had terrible experiences with cheap tires which almost left me stranded on the side of the road. this video hits the nail right on the head and that's exactly why i support martiniworks, true enthusiast of all levels of the game.

Hope y’all love this one 🎉

97% of bolt ons are made in China and then have a sticker of reputable brand slapped for crazy markup.

My girlfriend wanted white te37 look wheels for her STI. She went for the av-06 for the price point. That car never see track she does some 2-3 gears pull from time to time and that pretty much it. Went with the Conti DW-06. Perfect match for what she does with a good treadware. So "cheaper" on the wheels and affordable on the tire that was my 2c, REPPPPP💪

Nice video, you are right things will get very interesting as a price point perspective🤑

On that 🚗💥💨🔥

How about 2nd hand parts?
Are they under cheap or affordable?

I'mma say this, cuz I'm probably gonna snag my wheels from you when I can afford them.
A while back (couple months) he said "what can we do better? How can we improve? "

I wrote a comment saying, my car wasn't on the list. Now its on the list, along with a number of others that at the time were seemingly overlooked.

Looking forward to seeing more growth!

I'm thinking for my needs, just an upgrade in tires will be enough for what I'm doing. Rims are actually a good size straight out of the factory.

Real talk, anyone ever used summit ultramax uhp tires? Their price is on the cheap side but summit is an American company and from the few reviews I see they aren't negative.

What you think about bull boost?

Seibon is hard to deal with and they are not cheap well there product is but what they charge isn't

Rev9/ebay monotubes, ebay cold air intakes, ebay Lower control arms, is as cheap as i can go. Save
$ on buying OEM rims that are forged / or not, get them sandblasted and powder coated.

Are Anovia Wheels something you guys would still recommend?

So long as you know how the part works, the seller's a reliable and professional person, and it isn't Temu, there's no problem with getting knock off parts that actually work on eBay.

I am as you Alex, I LOVE wheels as well.
I always look up the brand before I even buy something to my car, does it have history it's more peace of a mind here as well.
I prefer genuine as better quality.
Sure I maybe want michelin tires, but I still went with Toyo since I have run almost all my cars on Toyo and never had any issues at all :)
And for winter tires I went with Nokian that are made for our weather here.

hey alex, imma need a "how to modify an 8th gen civic" video please and thank you

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). How can I transfer them to Binance?

Exhaust. I’m looking for headers for my corvette. It’s just bent piping. Fitment and quality welds is what you’re paying for with the expensive parts. But if I have an exhaust shop install them and fix any issues they may have then it’s still cheaper buying the $600 headers vs the $1300 headers.

Im looking for wheels for my c5

Question, aodhan ds08,ds09 and ds-x is not rotary forged? On your website it doesn't say but aodhan website says dual phase forged "rotary forged"!? I bought a set of aodhan ds08 and the wheels feels lighter to low pressure cast wheels.

Hey, nice shirt! I got it for Christmas 🤗

I need new tires for my 08 Volvo xc 90. Mostly highway use, but i use it on our ranch because the "seasonal roads" have 6" deep mud sometimes. Any recommendations or brands to avoid?

As someone who pretty recently bought a 2024 GR86, and is getting ready to put my first real modifications on the car, this video is so incredibly well timed!
Thanks Alex! I think I might get some Stage wheels!

I bought a audi R8 i dont understand why brakes are 1000.00 they were 49.00 on my Jeep ?

Hell yeah, it helps when you’ve got a cheaper platform
