I think it is hard to come up with a new design that doesn't somehow resemble another wheel.

One less spoke?
Thinner/thicker spokes?
I think the concave thing looks great! I can't wait to see some on my car...


Speaking of which.. TIAN!? I have not received your PM.

well i was wondering that because as you may know or not recently there has been a lot of fire against replica wheels such as rotas and varstoons (sp?) and I was wondering well if rotas resemble volks what about companies such as 360forged, adv1, dpe and now vossen who have the similar super concave look

There is a thread about this that includes a link from a dealer about boycotting drivers with replica wheels.

I think it is all BS. There will always be replica EVERYTHING because there will always be drivers that can not afford the real deal.

It would be kind of hard to "patent" a wheel that is 20 inches, has 10 spokes and..... little rivets all the way around...

Dealers are crying because they are losing possible sales. I saw some rims on here that I loved! I asked what they were... and I cried myself to sleep when I found out what they were and how much they cost.

Was going to lock it S requested but that would disrespect the members that chose to participate with responses relevant and and in line with the s
Spirit of Driver.

The rest should probably get infractions for harassment, flaming, and assortment of other offenses against the rules and suck up ban for a few days.

OP, glad you found a company that suited YOUR needs, YOUR price, and gave you service YOU could appreciate. From what I read, that was your intent, yes? The rest of this noise is douchebaggery of the highest degree.

My question to all of you is, if you don't have work wheels or rays should you even post on this forum?

^I don't see why not.

I'm sure we can all agree they have good customer service, that has never even been in question. Now if they could just transfer some of that energy to creating some nice wheels, we'd be set.

Also this is what we have iTrader for, no need for these types of threads.

I have done work for over 100 members on here and none have had to make a thread lol simply an itrader.

If you don't know what itrader is we can fill you in on that.

Ya me too. I was really wanting 19" HRE 897R. A local dealer quoted me a 6,000 even just for the wheels Needless to say, I'd be more than happy with a quality replica.

Post 41 is a good example of off topic douchbaggery. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. It has nothing to do with the discussion of the wheels in the OP and adds nothing to the discussion.

This ends this part of the discussion. I need not go further. If I do, yours will be the first infraction I issue.

wow...

So basically everyone in this thread posted an opinion with the exception of the few (which will always happen in ANY thread)

and I'm the one being threatened with an infraction? Can you explain to me what I did?

PM me if you feel to discuss this further

back on topic...

great customer service doesn't negate the fact that these wheels are overhyped
