Exclamation Replica wheels! (post pics)

Before y'all start bashing on me for asking about replica wheels, i just want to say that, my wife will start driving this car soon so i don't want to put expensive wheels and then cry every time she messes them up (she is a lady after all )

Looking for pics of 19 inch staggered setup, and also if you can specify the specific brand of the wheels!

Thank in advance!

Most people with replica's would rarely post they rocking them because they might get flamed

Varrstone have some good looking reps. Like the bbs lm rep, those are nice with step lips. And they have the Volk reps as well.

Are you specifically looking for replicas or just cheaper wheels?

The flames come from people calling out others for buying cheaper wheels than used the design or R&D from expensive manufacturers.
This SHOULD not include some of the cheaper 1 piece cast manufacturers.
There are some good ones like TSW and MMR that make good quality wheels for the price.

Dont blame the wife for your choice in wheels!

Im just playing but why even buy after-market wheels when you know she will curb it anyways?

Replica or not a curb wheel will always look bad.

Trust me man... I have said the same thing... she insists she wants rims so guess what... SHE IS GETTING RIMS...haha

if i spent 500-1000 on rims and they get scratched wont hurt as bad as if i were to get some for 2000-3000... i guess its just me...

If you want reps, search Linea Corse, a division of Rota made in the Philippines, lots of people here use them.

Look thru this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...heel-club.html
