do fake alloys buckle easier?

[Eeyore]

I dont think fake is really the right word. Sure they are immitations but the actual thing is that they are cheap... if they are cheap has the right amount of development gone into the wheel and have they been made of the right material? Even expensive alloys like Wheelmania Lions are very weak and can bend. You take your chances but I wouldnt go for anything super cheap.

Borbet As are cool and there have been a number of 306s with them in the past.
