$190 CAD. Probably cheaper than OEM? Same specs. Not sure about weight. Austins are ~25 lbs.

You're risking your safety with shady aftermarket wheels. They are cheaper and more likely to bend or break. $200 savings isn't worth a wreck.

A used OEM wheel goes for $125-180 depending on condition. Check eBay
I curbed one and was looking to buy a single wheel as well, just haven't bothered yet since I'm always spending money on my house and kids

DAIs are fine but are heavier than stock.

I was wondering, how is it known that DAIs (for example) are not made as strong as the stock wheels? I can see that one should be concerned with how they are made, with what materials are used etc. But isn’t that a manufacturer specific concern? Doesn’t seem accurate to blanket all non-OEM / non-name brand wheels as “unsafe”.
I’ve read that Austins are 25 lbs. And these DAIs are also 25 lbs, I believe.
Maybe a moot point now though as I’m not seeing the Austin copies on the DAI site anymore.
