Pole Position
I test fitted some 19x9.5/10.5 2.2.1s on my car the other day. I'm slightly lowered on
Eibachs and they were poking like crazy! No way I could run them unless I did an aggressive pull on the fenders + massive camber. I think the +22 well work alot better..

Yes i agree with thisOriginally Posted by QwkSC
Wow, their anodized stuff looks really cool.
those blue ones looked very nice IMO
I dont think they would go well with most SC's but if you could somehow pull it off i think they would be real head turners if done properly.

Fair warning the +22 offsets wont clear supra TT brakes i tried.
you speaking from experience? because many people i know have real 2/3 piece wheels bent and cracked...just sucks if you spend 3gs and your rims crack/peel/bend unless youre a big baller and got the $$$ to blowOriginally Posted by eliteskill
^ jintei is rocking the TE reps from them. I have heard good things about that company.. and a few minor problems with them cracking here and there. But REPS are REPS. So far so good from them.Fair warning the +22 offsets wont clear supra TT brakes i tried.

I think people just assume because a wheel is less in price it is prone to cracking, i dont agree with that at all.
They make wheels in 18's. I was actually looking for pics of those rims on different cars all day today. Google "look what came in today z32 nico" and you can see what they look like in 18's on a 300ZX.
Lead Lap
they plan on bringing the other ones in 18s too... they just opened with 19s ... soon will release 18s.... i know so many whose Work or VIP brands start loosing clear coat and can see oxidation... so why spend so much u wonder sometimes... don't get me wrong ... they are nice when new... but wish for 2K to 3K there's more of a guarantee or warranty.. or something..

Reverse engineered wheels that are made to look like something they're not.
Hit a pothole. $50 to straighten a bend on a quality wheel vs $??? to replace a cracked knockoff.

who straightens wheels for 50 dollars? its gonna cost you mount/dismount and rebalance at least 30 on a low profile. Please dont show me some promotional video for a japan wheel company...i got a buddy that just hit a small pothole with his japan made racing heart 2 piece wheel thats bent like ***** and now hes stuck riding on stocks looking for a place to straighten his wheels. Closest place 1 hour away....hes pissed he blew his money cuz hes not rich and expected more from a set of multi thousand dollar set of wheels that act like cheap knock offs. What about the cheap sears/pep boys wheels that people drive on for years and years at a time...my wife had a set of katana racing heart knock offs for 3 years on her camry 7 years ago and they lasted 3 years and 2 sets of tires, they bend but didnt leak and clear peeled just like real expensive rims after about a year and good winter.

I have noticed that a lot of the nice high end wheels I see for sale here on the forums are bent up or messed up clear coats. I don't know how if it's because people don't take car of their wheels or if the authentic wheels aren't all they're cracked up to beOriginally Posted by drpatel77

Yup, you answered your own question, many don't take care of their wheels or use the wrong chemicals, leaving chemical burns; therefore jeopardizing longevity. Most manufacturing processes of higher end wheels allow the wheel to bend upon impact not crack, not saying these companies don't produce bad batches once in while, no one's perfect.Originally Posted by Kira X

I'm not going into a "knock-off" versus "legit" debate. All I'm saying is there's a reason why one high end wheel can get you a set of knock-offs for the same price. You get what you pay for, not just a brand. What you pay for is the R&D from each of these manufacturers.

Nice looking wheels, I remember reading a thread on Supraforums where one guy said he contacted the company and they didn't recommend them for high horsepower cars.

i dont see how thats possible, if you ever seen quality of weld wheels(probably the worst) and they hold up fine in 1000+hp applications and i have hands on experience with using them on my own car with a decent amount of powerOriginally Posted by cherplex
