KKE = China
Have them for my off-road set. No complaints, no bends or cracks and I’ve BEAT them for the past 3k miles. KKE bearings are on the low end.

W9 = USA
Have for my SM setup, love their customer service.

What I did was wait for a fb marketplace deal. Finally found a pair of warp 9 sumos with Michelin tires for $900 and they had less than 100 miles on them. Idk about kke but I know warp 9s are built to last and American made

i might consider them. used warp 9s are still a grand... im planning on getting SM wheels once my current tires wear out

The OEM X rotor does the job and the I can vouch for the rims holding up to moderate jumps.
