What would be real funny is if someone posted pics of real wheels and their hubcap copycats. The first pics posted have a hub out there which is very similar. Being the very poor person I am I might get them while I save up for some real wheels.

knock off wheel sare usually of much poorer quality and bend a lot easier. I'll stick to JDM wheel manufacturers from now on anyway. I may go bling SSR or Weds if I had to do it again. Here the sights www.weds.co.jp and www.speedstar.co.jp

I know the Weds TC005 in a 17x7 at Tirerack.com are $419 per wheel; that's expensive to me.
