They simply copied another company that did R&D, sure the wheels work and they meet industry standards. Majority of authentic wheel companies exceed those requirements. I rather have forged barrel than a cast copy of that same exact wheel but that's me. If I was in market for IS-F and saw replica wheels I would immediately be turned off and think that person skimped on all other parts by buying replicas and even neglected maintenance because of cost.

That's why I kept my stock wheels whenever I decide to sell my car.

Mods don't add value to the car, even if the car has high end mods. A buyer most of the times feels better and more confident about buying a used stock looking car than a modded car.

They are also boat anchors aside from being a blatant design ripoff.



Same size Varstone weighs 5+ lbs more. No thanks.
