1) i HIGHLY doubt that. just a cheap marketing gimick to get "JDM fanboys" to buy their wheels...and obviously, it works...

2)if they are made in japan, they are a crappy knockoff brand. i've never seen or heard of them on any JDM or USDM car...or in any magazine, etc...

1. call them up and ask them. i bet you they tell the truth and i bet you when i get the boxes and see japan invoices and take pictures you can bend over and take it and say i was right.

2. knockoff of what. VOLK DOESN'T EVEN DO THIS. the only other company i know that does this is jline. and the reason you haven't heard of them before is because they're marketed towards high end cars. not a 17,000 scion.

3. who in the hell are you to judge how i spend my money and do what i do. i want to be different and i will do it so lay off and stop posting

4. why would i be a jdm fanboy my car isn't even avaliable in japan..?

nebster

if you wish to talk to me about it please feel free to do so in a pm. this has gotten way out of control and i'm going to have an admin delete this thread. its pointless for people to argue how i spend my money and what my tastes are. you wont be hearing much from me on this site any longer.

Nevernind...now they make rims..NICE!

yeah i get that, but in this case if the wheels alone cost 5k the guy could have probably just bought a "better" car, i guess that really could go for the people that got the force induction upgrades, I guess its just a personal thing, seems like too much money to put in to a car that cost 3 times as much as the wheels its on.

summx

just a second note, the wheels look nice and im sure they will look great on the tc BUT i think you could have saved some cash by just getting some cheaper wheels that are still high quality and look the same. Either way all that matters is that you like them, make sure to post pics.

TeeCizzle

Hope you got an Insurance Plan on those!....and then AVOID every Pothole, Dip...And the deadly Curb Rash!..

IMO I would never spend that much on wheels!....
only if I was a Millionare didnt give a crap about if something happen to them etc...

High end? STi's are high end? My friend is sponsored by JLine. They market towards every car. Jline, HRE, iForged... They don't care who buys their wheels. Super street has run hre ads before. who reads super street... 80% hondas... with d16's....

answer to 4. kids are weird.

times two on the insurance... bendy bendy... if the wheel is perfectly flush... you are going to have to stretch the tire...

nebster

first off i didn't pay 5200 for these wheels i recieved a sponsorship and will not be disclosing the price i paid for them.

and chrischoi when i mean hi end i'm talking bmw's porche etc. look at their advertizing
http://www.hdautoart.com/aaADVERTISING.htm

they dont' advertize in super street. they advertize in magazines marketed towards hi end vehicles. when did i say an sti?!

and i'm not a kid, in fact i'm older than you if your profile is correct.

Not tryin to be a jerk, you could of got a set of customs volks that look better for about 5g, or atleast thats what my buddy did for his supra. IMO, those wheels are overpriced! Like i said i woulda got HRE or VOLK for those prices!

nebster

lol....


i didn't pay 5k. that is simply the retail value. and that is with the tires.

afi123215

i realize that but the msrp is still overpriced

nebster

agreed but since nobody has never seen or heard of them i'll evaluate the quality when i get them. i'm sure they'll be nothing but amazing and when you get volks and ____ all you're doing is paying for the name.

StealthScion

congrats, you overpaid (by a LOT) so you can say you have JDM rims. then you'll get sick of them in less than a year and go buy some different ones...

following your logic....WHY PUT HIGH END WHEELS ON A CRAPPY SCION TC???? :D

nebster

you my friend are obviously dumb and can't read. i didn't pay nearly as much as you probably think.

and to your question. WHY NOT put high end wheels on my baby?

StealthScion

its called GHETTO FABULOUS son. if you paid over a grand (on wheels for your SCION), then you over paid.

so, based on the other responses you've gotten, you seem to be the only one who thinks you made a wise deal. cuz frankly, no one really seems too impressed with their look.... they look like Volk knockoffs

OMG
I feel sorry for ya dude, so many ppl that can't even read properly here and all they do is whine on something they have no clue about.
Read, read, read and if u still can't comprehend what the poster wrote read it again or don't reply. How many ties he has to reply that he didn't pay retail for it ? geez....

Rims look sweet, props too u, it's nice to have something original, eh ? Don't bother about those guyz above... waste of time replyin to them

nebster

ask anyone on here whos building a show car and ask them how much they paid for rims. i bet you 95% of this site paid more than a grand for their wheels.
