Niche Wheel Quality?

I'm in the market for some wheels for my F10. I saw a set of Niche wheels that I like, but not sure about the quality. Can anyone who has or had a set of Niche wheels help me out? Are they prone to bending and cracking? Keep in mind I live in NYC.

Thanks in advance!

I understand where you are going with your question, but any wheel is susceptible to damage on these NYC roads. Whatever you get, I suggest you take them off for the winter months (pothole season).

Yea our street suck so I feel you. I don't plan on getting them until the spring. I'm just shopping around now to get a feel for what I want. I was thinking about going with Avant Garde wheels but I've read on this forum that the quality sucks.

What many people don't know is that Niche is made by MHT. MHT is one of the leading manufacturers of wheels in the USA. A huge amount of after market wheels are actually made by MHT.

ADV1, Rotiform, Morr... The list is huge.

So be fore the debate starts with people saying their very expensive wheels are better then Niche they should know...

Thanks for the feedback. I just left the Run For The Blue event and met someone who had Niche wheels on his m6. He told me he had them for 2 years and never had any issues.

Yep, MHT makes Niche, MRR, AG, Varro, etc. All made in China. The different brands won't give you a better quality wheel, just a different style, unless you go forged or semi-forged. Beyern is made by TSW which is another huge player in the wheel manufacturing business. Also, chickity china.

Cast wheels are usually made in China. But anything forged is made in the USA...
