Anybody deal with hitoautoparts before? The user reviews are quite numerous on some wheels, but I fear they may be fakes. They have wheels at insanely low prices...they are a Chinese company though, however a lot of people find the knockoffs are great bargains for the price. Here they list a MOMO for $38 plus $26 for shipping. Clearly a fake. There are many other great deals on the website, provided it is a legitimate knockoff and not a flimsy piece of wheel like the "genuine" nardi steering wheel on youtube that literally bends without much force.

What do you guys think? Should I jump and try it?

They are fake and I'd never use one on a real car because they aren't up to the task structurally. HOWEVER, I have one very similar to this and for sim racing, it's great. (fake as well) You'll probably break your wheel before you bend the rim.
 
I totally get that it doesn't matter if it's fake or not, even though it clearly is 100% fake. I am just worried that I will end up with this



For that MOMO wheel, and many others on that website, the picture looks GREAT, but you don't know how strong structurally it is. That MOMO is only $60 bucks....compared to $60 bucks for one of these. Which "fake" is better made? The only difference is that these RS wheels are tried and tested!!!! Ebay reviews are strong.

LOL you'd break your FF hub before you bend that wheel like that. Just buy real, its not a lot of money really.

He's not really using much effort. I'd buy real if possible, but not possible at the moment haha. Still....it's a tough call...both wheels $60 but one is a MOMO fake from china and one is a knockoff "RS type" from china as well. I'd be taking a huge risk with the MOMO, if I get a flimsy pos I'll be so mad, plus you are dealing with a chinese company who won't give a shat after they have your money because they know they sold you playdough in the shape of a MOMO.

Look at this 'genuine nardi.' SO GENUINE.
