Those wheels are badass. Its awesome to see people spending good money to get GOOD wheels, instead of the same knockoffs that everyone else has. Can't wait for the on car pics.
What's wrong with knock off wheels? I personally can't justify paying 2-3k for something that could be so easily curbed or stolen... I mean, do more expensive wheels make your car faster?no. Handle better?nope. Look better? a little bit. Enlarge your E-Penis? of course!

Torbs? Is that you?

knock off wheels can be poor quality and break, I've seen many knock offs get torn up from daily driving and the next set they would buy nice wheels and have no issues except some curb rash.

I have seen ppl destroy real deal wheels, although probably not as common....

Where have you seen many? What brands? pretty sure just because a company used the same design has nothing to do with the quality of the build... you could say that about certain brands and be SOMEWAT correct, but generalizing about how ALL knock off wheels are poor quality is straight up BS.

Knockoffs are cheaper for more then the reason of the name. They are lower quality, different material....

You do not have to spend 2-3k on rims to get nice, quality rims.

Exactly, I'm not talking about rims that are similar styles, I'm talking about ebay knockoffs and stuff like that, they're poor quality and not worth your time.

stating facts which you are not sure of about is not stating an opinion. That would be talking about something you don't know about... I still wanna know where you guys see all these knock off wheels failing???
Yeah, if you are road racing, doing 100+ often, then you probably don't want cheap wheels. But I still have yet to hear from any of you guys the downside to "Fake" wheels other than the fact that they are gonna break(which you don't know)

[KA-T_240]

Some are heavy(sportmax) poor quality, poor coatings(the paint or what ever), some do not even have the whole drilled right for the lug nuts(pretty rare have seen a couple) They break.

Yo do not have to be racing at 100+ for them to break.

[Joel]

sweet you found some people on the internet who broke wheels, I bet you can find pics of ssr's broke in half too! those pics are clearly from abuse.... if you did that to even a forged wheel, they would be damaged.

i guess in my opinion i would rather buy the real deal and spend the extra money not cause its baller but cause it would give me the satisfaction of the name, they get there reps for a reason. Like buying a condom would you rather have a trojan or a condom brand condom, put that no name condom on and see if you feel safe.

?I offered to buy your 20 year old wheels for what you paid. Mainly because I needed wheels and didn't really want that style wheel, but need some wheels. LOL@ you thinking I'm a cheap ass. Not to get into the bragging thing but the TV hanging on my wall says different.
