TE37 knockoffs?

[Enzo]

any companies out there making a te37 style wheel? I have yet to see anything even close...

 

[Airpoppoff]

Volk Ripoff's = ghey

 

[Enzo]

paying 400$ for a wheel that i am not in need of that much weight savings just cause i like the style of wheel = dumb.

I saw a knockoff the other day, lemme try and find it again

The WHOLE POINT of getting TE37s is for weight savings.

Not necessarily. I love the way they look. I would buy them because they look good & they're Volks... not because they look good. I have a set of HRE 545 rims on my Prelude. I didn't get them to save weight, I got them because they look good and they're HREs. If I wanted to just save weight, I would go with something a little cheaper. Then again, this is just my 5 cents

and

Both are pretty close to TE37s, the Rotas still being light as hell but also only come in 15" and 16"

You prolly also shop at Abercrombie not because the clothes look good, but because they look good and their Abercrombies.

Label conscious people freak me out.

Another close knockoff is the Konig Rated R's. They look fairly close, but there are subtle differences. I had them on my civic and had alot of people ask me if I actually powdercoated a set of Volks yellow.
And I think it's Arospeed seels a wheel that actually looks exactly like a volk, but itstead of having the RAYS ENGINEERING stickers on the spokes it actually (and this is no lie) says ROYS ENGINEERING.

my freind just put 18" white Rated R's on his GS-T and i think they look good

You know I meant weight

Good point, Bruiser. I personally don't like Abercrombie clothes, but I guess in my opinion, cars are much different to me. To me, performance isn't everything.

 

[TechT]

thehyena,do you have any pics of your friends car? I was looking at those also.Thanks

Then why not get something else all together

 

[Merlin Beerens]

I have TE37's, and I agree that knockoffs are ghey. But if you really must, there is a company called Power Racing, all they make is knockoff wheels. Just dont be REALLY ghey and slap some Rays/Volk decals on them.

 

[greyforestgst]

well i guess im ### then, because i have advan knockoffs

oh wait, they weigh less per wheel and costed $180 each...why do i want advans again?

oh yeah i dont!

i <3 rota battles

 

[Spidey]

I don't see a problem with knockoffs, it's not like you're pretending you have TE37s(I hope anyway), it's just you like that style wheel, WTF is the big deal? I also don't have respect for people who think they're better than others because they have $2000+ set of wheels, whether they're as light as a feather or not, for the most part you're still just paying for a name.

Just my 50cent, n00gle.
