Damn! I too am intrigued as to why they are soooo cheap?
Though I've never seen more LD-1 knock offs on one single page in my life!

Hold that thought........................ My friend ordered the Dronnell over 3 weeks ago and still didn't get them. He sent a money order and is wondering why it is taking soooooo long. I know we live in Hawaii, but it should have been here even if they slow-boated the rims here?????????? I'll let you know how it turns out. Caus' I cant believe they are selling the rims that cheap......

guys, many of the dronnels are being discontinued...hence the good prices..

hudini, hope your friend does receive the wheels though..3 weeks is a bit long if they have them in-stock

btw, the 20" wheel we talked about will fit on the supra...

Those prices are cheap because those are all *****TY WHEELS (except the Dronells....) Also, ALL OF THOSE are 1-piece wheels (anything that "looks" like a 2 or 3-piece is a fake)...and they're all cast (not that all cast wheels are bad just less expensive to make...take BBS for example...and Work, Rays, Advan, etc...all make top quality cast wheels...of course, none of those wheels on that site are close to the aforementioned brands in quality except for maybe the Dronells)...

That site should be called "20sfortheghettofolk"...

Your friend might not have his wheels yet cuz they can't get the Dronells he wanted...

Those People are affiliated with wheelmax.com they specialize in "knockoff" style wheels....the reason the dronells are soooo cheap is because they bought practically all of AKT's stock when they closed so they got all that stuff Dirt i mean dirt cheap....

Hudini, the reason your friends wheels are taking so long is because they ship to hawaii by usps so they take LONG....

I know because i used to work there in the past and I know all the people that work there.....


Also the dronnells they advertise are not even chrome dipped they are like a chrome paint......!!!!!!!!!!!thats why so cheap...



Hope this helps

LEXTACY44,

Please say it isn't so????????? Chrome paint?? I only reason I give a damn is because my friend who ordered them is a REALLY nice guy and was absolutely excited to get those wheels at that price.
I felt kinda bad for him waiting sooo long for his rims. But now???????
I let him know about the Shipping time. Thanks for your help and insight on this matter.

You might want to buy five or six wheels- I'm pretty sure they'll all be hard to find in a year or two, and if you twang one, you could be in a world of hurt...
