I can see that this discussion has already come to an end, but I still want to add my 0.02.

You gotta pay to play. Buying replicas or fakes is equal to being a poser in other subcultures. I will keep my OEM wheels or get some OEM+ wheel before I run a Miro or ALT. Your OEM wheels are most likely lighter and of higher quality than the replicas anyway.

 

I get the whole real vs. fake debate, but I what I don't understand, is why people think it's baller to put $5000 wheels on a car that's worth MAYBE $1500.. I don't get how it's "status" to spend crazy money on wheels to put on a car worth 1/4 of the the "value" of the wheels.

Can someone explain?

 

I haz reel kjuans. Win.

 

Like I said the other day.

Bitches dont know my wheels are replicas.
The R will have real wheels, well. I lie..

OEM ITR WHEELS TILL I DIE.....

 

The scene is all about the level of dope status nowadays. Take a MK2 Jetta for example. If it were stock with 150k miles on it and decent body, it could go for $1500-2000. Do a half assed vr6 swap, put some shitty knockoff coilovers and a $2000 wheel and tire setup and it is instantly dope status. Now you can sell it for 5k with wheels and 3k without just because it now has status.

 

little late but my .02

I have "real" wheels that i worked hard to buy and waited forever to receive. i have also ran a cheaper wheel (konig helium). i see this debate from both sides. when i didnt have money, i bought the best wheel for the money i had. nice looking and lightweight and got plenty of props even from people who knew i only paid 350 for them. then when i ordered my work meisters i caught so much shit from friends. "i will never spend 2200 on wheels to put on something that isnt worth much more". my integra no, isnt worth THAT much, but a cars worth isnt always a dollar sign, unless its time to sell. if someone loves their car and loves building a car, why not have what you want and nothing less than the best. i have worked hard to get my car where it is now, but doesnt bother me when people run knock offs because i understand why they do. BUT if i saw someone with some rota d2s with work stickers on them, it would def get under my skin. thats my short story

 

Shut it... You know you got Work stickers made for them fake janks... lullz


<3

 

I'm going to be taking my REAL BBS wheels off of my car to put on some FAKE wheels that are also heavier when the tires wear out. How about those apples faggots

 

srsly nobody here can judge anyone else about rocking fake wheels as long as their not preaching them as real.

/thread.

 

well that goes for any parts.
