The other MB wheels were actually nicer wheels than the Battles. The Weapons and Competitions were actually made by A-Tech and were very good quality wheels. The Battles were Chinese shit, NOT made by A-Tech. I would like to see the stampings on the CST's to see if they were actually the same wheels, I've always been curious.

so I have also been wondering about this. The first pair of battle bought in 08 seemed to be better quality than the set I bought last year. The newer set powder coat seemed more fragile, and they definitely had the made in china stamped on the back. Let me take a look at my old battles, i dont think they have a cst stamp on them...

battles are dope, they were my first set of wheels back in 2008, loved them so much I bought a pair for skid spares now and that's coming from someone who had 18x9.5 + 12 CR Kai's and currently have 18x9.5 +12 chrome work XT7s

I'm trying to drop this subject to stop derailing the thread. But I know the story behind both those ancient history pics. What happened to that P45R was a lot worse that hitting a curb/pothole and could have happened to any wheel. Plenty of Rota/XXR in use daily driving, drifting & time attack with no issues at all. Don't act like Battles are unbreakable. Shit happens. Drop it.

That's clearly a curb hit, the only wheel I've ever seen come apart just while driving is XXR/sportmaxx not saying all of them will do that they are just the only wheel brand I've seen do that, all those wheels are ugly as fuck anyway though so.. I would run rotas for skid spares any day though as long as they are in good sizes and they look rad

Battles content. Now play nice & let it go.

Still trying to figure out why you keep adding non-related crap to this thread? OP didn't ask for your OPINION on battles/cst's, so please stop.

On topic... 2008 i think?

Checked my older set (~4 years old) and they have made in China cast in on the back side of a spoke. I'll check my new set (purchased within the last year) to see if there are any casting differences. Found a QC sticker on the barrel, no CST markings though.

That's a mighty busted wheel for EVERY SINGLE THING around the wheel being seemingly undamaged. What'd they run into a transmogriphier ray? FOH!!!

Aside from really nice jdm wheels being cheaper to buy over there, if the wheel doesn't have the JWL stamping, I doubt such wheels can even be sold in Japan. Look into the JWL certification process for your answer as to why. I'm curious if the made in china Battles have the JWL stamping...
