Default Replicas and Decisions...

I found this great video (posted by llamaboiz) regarding replicas wheels and a product warning for fake Rays Dura-Nuts. Not bashing anyone with replicas, as everyone's situation is different, but you've been warned.... Video was from this thread in 2IS forum.

Man, I love the Weds wheels, especially the legit SA67R. Lightweight + strong! Good choice there John .

I wish they'd make these in larger sizes too, when I get the GTR I'd love a set.

The term "You get what you pay for".... comes to mind..



I'm an original kind of person.. With out the original, the cheaper knock-offs would never exist..

sad thing is that people will still buy these thinking to themselves "how bad can they be?"

how much is your life worth to you?

I better check my dura-nuts when I get home~! That packaging is so deceiving!

My personal PSA: It's a shame when I see people running reps, especially for functional parts on a Lexus. But it's pretty widespread in this community, which is surprising to me.

Its the entire modding scene... and popular websites that host "nice" rides of the week that support them. Thats why the time attack scene is my favorite. Want to take that corner at 80mph on ebay rotors, chinese seats, and lego wheels? Be my guest.
