Product durability drop testfrom @ziyang_9603

[01]

Overview

The creator addresses customer skepticism about his low-priced forged wheels. To prove their quality and safety, he performs a durability test by throwing a wheel from a second-story window (approximately 5 meters high) onto an asphalt surface. After the impact, he inspects the wheel, showing that it only has minor chips and is not cracked or out-of-round, concluding that the test validates the product's high quality and safety.

Transcript

Fire the hole! Many of you say that my wheel can't be good because I only sell it at $300 and those ones in United States tier market at over $1,000 No how could my wheel be the best in quality? And today I'm gonna show you that my wheel is the safest wheel in the world because if I'm going to throw it off this window, you see tier is like at least five meters from where I am standing, and I'm pretty sure it will not crack. So let's see it. Fire in the hole. No let's check it out. So yes you can see, this wheel is not cracked. Only a little tiny amount of aluminum is chipped away, but it's pretty normal because we throw it away from at least five meters. And here you can see oh, here it's even better because we only have powder coating chipped away. So today's best, it shows our wheels are very safe for you to drive because even though we don't have the protection of tier, you can see that our wheel doesn't crack. So if you want forged wheel, you should find me.
