knock off wheels

so now there are a whole bunch of ****ty *** knock off wheels for the fanboys to choose from. besides the obvious volk knockoffs there are now watanabe knockoffs (sportmax 002s and konig rewinds) there are knockoffs of older model works and longchamps. and to make the deal even sweeter they come in ****ty *** offsets. i found some so i thought i would share.

long champ replicas (which barely look like the real thing. unknown sizes and offsets available - probably around 15x7 +30000)

equip 03 replicas by drag (uhh....looks ****ty probably ****tier sizes)

Advan SA3R replicas by racing hart (only available in 19" and looks kidna funky, plus it probably costs more than a real set)

and the best example work 03 replicas by axis, not bad, probably not bad quality but somes in ****ty size and its FAKE. 15x8 with a "low offset", best of all its only available in 4x100 PCD, awesome. BUT it comes with humerous cap. the wheel sucks but at least its funny.

I would rather drift with some knockoffs instead of crashing high priced originals.

theres nothing wrong with some of the knock off brands, others can be iffy...some have ectually been proven to be better than the original manufacturer

personally i have no problem with most knockoff parts. i actually own 2 knockoff wheels (sportmax 002s) but for some reason fake work wheels just dont feel right...i hate those axis wheels as well as the rota D2's...

+1 for MB Motorsports Weapons. They're cheap too. Like 550 for a full set of 17*9 +17.

the weapons look like those motegi wheels that were popular in the late 90s. i say go competition or go home. or just get used wheels and call it a day

But sizing with the weapons is spot on, and they look good IMO.
