Gecko vs Dynamic

[Mrbob]

Ok, last stupid wheel question from me. I promise!!

Interested in a budget vs quality comparison of Gecko rims and Dynamic rims. I have finally sourced both of them in the size I want (16x8 +20). The Gecko's come in at $85 and the Dynamic's at $110.

Are the Dynamic's that much better?

I'm trying to think about quality, as well as availability ie if I need a replacement down the track.

Interested in anyone's experiences of either or both brands.

Thanks!

I heard from my local tyre bloke that they are all the same....but some are 2nd and 3rd rate hence the price .seconds are then fixed somwhere....?post factory and resold....all comes down to the balancing and how much lead you want hanging off your rims.

i was under the impression the geckos were made in china, tend to bend a lot more easily than the local stuff, i'd go the dynamic's for sure, been proven for years.
it's not that big a price difference for peace of mind.
i've been stung that many times by cheap car parts out there over the last few years that i choose to go with quality up front now, it's worth the extra.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I've ordered the Dynamics. Thanks.
