Anyone running replica wheels and is not afraid to admit it? Please post photos. Looking at Miro Wheels -- TE37 knock offs...

And 3..2..1.. Away we go..

I run Sport Line T.E.6 wheels (VOLK REPS)

Specs 19x9.5 (F)
19x10.5 (R)
The Sport Line T.E.6 wheels and are spun forged and super strong like Volks but without the price tag. A lot of people on here are diehard name brand wheels. I don't have the life styles of the rich and famous bank account so I did my research and went with pretty an identical wheel. Because they are spun forged they are strong and weigh pretty much the same.

Some will say oh you can't track or drive hard on them? I have proved that wrong I have tracked numerous times on them and not had a single issue.

If you are looking into reps do your research and do not... I repeat DO NOT! Get any wheels that are cast!!

If and of the try hards give you crap for running reps tell them to get away from your car you built it the way you want. I know I would be sick if I broke a $1000 wheel.

If someone says real Volks or name brand wheels don't break I can post plenty of pics that say otherwise.

If you got any questions let me know..

Without further ado.. here's some pics of my rims.

I think the thing to remember is that there are varying levels of quality when it comes to replicas. do your research, look for brands with no major/continuous problems, and do it.

Subbed because I am too cheap to drop money on legit wheels and didn't know there was a market for quality replicas.

That being said... I genuinely like my OEM sport rays.

I ran Rotas Corsa Dynas for a very short time in 2011 and then varrsteons ES1 in 2012 for about 8 weeks.

I dont recommend them...finish chips easily, whats underneath looks horrid, the finish clearly looks and feels cheaper, prone to hair line cracks over less severe pot holes, and its always more satisfying to save for the good stuff. Just my opinion from experience with them.

Here are the Dynas right before getting rid of the car, didnt bother ever taking pics of the ES1s

lol...reps are cheaper for a reason guys...and only part of that reason is the brand name.

Also, you can get real wheels slightly used for similar prices as buying new replicas. That way you support the original designer and you can be sure of the quality (and you don't have to make a thread saying reps are awesome to make yourself feel better) I'm just saying guys..I used to buy varrstoens for all of my cars because I loved em. I legit had them on 2 cars at once... Then after a bunch of research I was able to find some decent condition used wheels locally. I went to regamasters, blitz, and SSRs then volks (in that order) for similar prices as the cost of getting new replicas plus taxes and shipping.
Try looking at local forums and websites and see what you find before buying brand new replica's.

Finally, when you buy legit/real wheels they often keep their value. If I buy a set of TE37s slightly used for 3k. and I don't smash them up over the course of a year. I can probably sell them again for 3k the next year. It's just the initial investment that is hard for some people.
Compared to paying 1.2k for a set of varrstoens, then selling them for like 800 bucks when you're done with them (if somebody will buy them and not lowball you)

Just me 2 cents fam

I kind off agree with you, but it is probably much harder to find a used staggered set.

I get what your saying to a extranet. For one I would lose my sh*t if I ****** up a 3k set of wheels.. I didn't buy cheap reps. They reps I use and forged as well. They suit my needs I'm so sick of everyone saying "name brand or nothing" and no I'm not trying to make my self feel better about my purchase lol.. I have more then enough money to actually purchase a set of name brand wheels.

not really, varrsteons and rotas typically come in staggered offsets...Vossens too
