te37 replicas

Some of those are nice, but I still think bronze is my choice for the pearl white. I also think a polished lip or any lip always gives the impression of a smaller wheel, which I don't want. I have been looking at the Forgestars powdercoated bronze or these rep's (I know the history of Forgestar's color and customer issues, so with powdercoating them I avoid one of their issues).

I've been following it from the beginning. I have had my car since Jan and have been on this site since then, I just don't post as much. Unfortunately, I visit it too much each day

My take on it, is they got too big for their britches - if you search the internet, you see them on all kinds of cars, and my guess is they couldn't keep up with the demand - and many (including caravan, suffered from it). But, those wheels are damn sexy, and cheap. Reminds me of my old e46.

Yeah, those were CSL replicas (Euro E46 specific wheels), before forgestar's time. Rota has been around for some time. They are big with the Subie guys. When I had a speed shop I used to sell them, and overall they had good designs (replicates of many) and most customers enjoyed them; I personally never knew anyone who had a problem with them.

thats encouraging...

they look good and are priced fair...

Yeah, but they have limited size 19s (or 20s) and colors for our cars.
