What's that got to do with it? Gimme a break, and you say you don't generalize?

Where did I say I did not generalize. First show me that.

Next, what language you speak on a daily basis has everything to do with this. Its either a language issue, or your a meth-head Mt man hiding out in canada clubbing seals for their precious meat.

I'd love to picture that.

A nastier word for generalization; stereotyping, prejudice, so simply hate.

Canada sucks don't get me wrong. That has nothing to do with this though. I am trying to figure out if this is a language issue or what. Cause every 3 posts you contradict yourself.

Still waiting to see where I said I do not make generalizations.

Still waiting to here if you are ESOL.

Not that I know of, at least in Ontario. They don't look for stamping or anything before registering and plating the vehicle, nor does it do any testing for the wheels itself. They do however inspect the tires.

This is irrelevant to the discussion. What is relevant is whether the wheels are inspected and certified to be sold in Canada and stamped accordingly. No one is talking about MOT testing. They don't do those kinds of validation/inspection in the US either for non-commercial vehicles in safety testing (if any is required - it's not in my State). Germany on the other hand does do this with their TUV.

DOT certification for a wheel in the US is based on Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and Regulations.

For example:

Standard No. 110 - Tire Selection and Rims - Passenger Cars, Non-Pneumatic Spare Tire Assemblies for Use on Passenger Cars

(Effective (4-1-68)

This standard specifies requirements for original equipment tire and rim selection on new cars to prevent overloading. These include placard requirements relating to load distribution as well as rim performance requirements under conditions of rapid tire deflation.

You can put any size wheel you want on a car in the US after you buy it and this is obvious evidence here (something that wouldn't fly in Germany):

The question Chuck is asking is what regulations does Canada have in place to certify every wheel that is imported or created in country to be sold and driven on Canadian roads. Those are the standards in question to which any wheel would have to certify.

Thanks for the clarification. I believe Canada is very similar as stated here on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Motor_Vehicle_Safety_Standard_108, I'm trying to find this documentation via Canadian Government sites have been elusive.

This is essentially the same in Canada. The car is certified via the manufacturer, but any consumer can install an aftermarket wheel without such certifications. So buying some knockoff wheel, with no standards is the risk up to the consumer itself.

The question Chuck is asking is what regulations does Canada have in place to certify every wheel that is imported or created in country to be sold and driven on Canadian roads. Those are the standards in question to which any wheel would have to certify.

You are giving Chuck too much credit, I don't think that's what Chuck is asking simply by the questions he is posing on me. It has nothing to do with the thread discussions.

1. Canada was only mentioned after the fact that I mentioned where I resided, which lead to his question about not having laws in Canada.

2. Generalization; he's claiming he does apparently, and I gave him a benefit of a doubt, which he's trying to disprove now for whatever reason.

3. ESOL; just because we're in a slight disagreement and his belief that I'm contradicting some arguements (which I don't believe I am), he's generalizing that I must be either a) ESOL B) an imbecile c) inferior. Even if I say I'm not an ESOL, it won't matter since clause number 2 above will take affect.

If I appear contradicting, I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding under the several topics that we covered earlier on;

a) My opinion of the Volvo OEM Pegasus rim and how Replicas are not worth buying(and my personal opinion about them)

B) Cast wheels and how Che was saying that they are junk worthy. Which I'm saying that "not all" based on the purpose.
