What is a good site to get Volk GTS reps?

Its for the G35 coupe

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

local?

[!Aznboi128]

replicas FTL!

If you got money to get a G35, you got money to get the real thing!

[Andy@advmotors]

PM me your budget and we will see what we can find within it!

How do you know he didn't get his G secondhand?

What if he just wants the wheels for esthetic reasons and doesn't feel that blowing 5-6K on rims alone is necessary at the moment?

If you can buy the real deal, good on ya, but don't rip on people who may not have the resources to do so.

+1 I know when I have my own car I probably wouldn't want to spend $5k+ on wheels that would be used 95% in the city. I would probably just get reps for $1k and then have more money for good tires.

[ELITE_TRAYUNZE]

I'd rather get a better car than spend the 5K on wheels...

[Preemo]

The idea is, replicas for the lose all around.

Do I HAVE to post the video of the idiot with the RX7 and whack lug nuts? Or post pictures of what happens when you buy shitty wheels?

Replicas are exactly that. I understand that not everyone has the money to blow on $5000 rims but seriously. It's more about safety when you're screwing around with rims.

[Ikkaku]

^ good for you for having the money to blow. If the person is going to casually drive the car and not launch light after light, there really should not be a problem with replicas. Yes, the safety can be an issue, but you make it sound like they're constructed from plastic. As long as they drive smart (avoid potholes) and not drive around like they're track stars with them, it should not be a major problem.

Your example is as legit as never flying in an airplane because the small percentages that end up crashing.

[JackyJai]

Not all rims a 5k a set.
Who ever first came up with that idea is a total idiot.
A set of Enkei would be something like mid $3000 with tires.

You would rather do something right or not do it at all.
If you can't afford some decent rims just roll on stock ones or find some used sets.

try find a set of GT-S new for $3000

[kluk]

i'm also considering these.

I'm sure you can find a mint set of used rims for cheap, just between new replica and new legit wheels.

Honestly by buying used parts, you can save a lot and make sure that its done right

[JackyJai]

You might want to have those eyes checked. I said a set of ENKEI for around $3500 with tires NOT GT-S.

And YES i was able to find a set of brand new 19" GT-C which is about the same price as GT-S for less than $3000.
A local shop offered me a set of 19" 9.5F/10.5R GT-C in gunmetal for $2800 because it was on sale.
I love my Advan so much that I rejected it.

Not all Volks cost $5000. Only those 1pc forged TE37 or CE28N or RE30 etc would cost high 4gs.
In case you don't know those 2pc Volk costs less than the mono-block forged.

[JHatta]

Replicas suck.

but fair enough that people want the look without have the style. (and the price that follows)

it's their car, do what they want. it's up to us to point and laugh.

It has nothing to do with the rims.
The rims are Enkei RPF1 which are very strong and light.
It was the guy didn't torque the lugs right or some how he fucked up his studs.

[b-dub]

People that buy replica wheels are retarded, it's a safety thing. I don't mind people that buy replica shit in terms of body kit etc, but wheels/tires is what's keeping your car on the ground, why would you risk putting cheap shit on your car just to make it look different? They don't have the same tolerances as many branded name rims. If you have a budget of less than $1-2000 on a car like the G35, don't even bother because any replicas will be worse quality than the stock rims. Do it right or don't do it at all!

Or i think it was the wrong lug nuts or something.

I think i remember reading from RS or somewhere quite awhile ago that the guy had just bought lug nuts from lordco or something not long before the autocross.
The guy at lordco gave him wrong lugs or something?
Although theres high chance I'm wrong.

Still a classic video.

werd, support the real deal or dont get it if you cant afford it.

fake for the lose

enkei/work should be affordable.

driving a G spending $3g on rims should be nothing.
not like the owner is driving a civic and telling him to spend $3g on rims and $1g on tires.

[SpuGen]

Unless OP blew all his money on the car, and doesn't have any money left to buy the real shit.

You might as well buy Canadian Tire spinners.

And to everyone who support buying the replicas; No, it's not "the same thing"
Your wheels are crap.

The only wheels that one would probably buy that would cost more than 5K, would be JP Scaras, Custom Veilsides/Jlines etc.

Volk is not your God. They're just over priced 70% of the time

[ELITE_TRAYUNZE]

Okay, so you guys are telling me, that when I am doing my normal everyday driving, that if I have replica wheels, I am being unsafe......

[124Y]

Although I agree on the cliche "safety first", I don't think Rotas are poor in quality in general.
They are lower in quality compared to Volks, Advans, SSR, or even Work or Enkei, but they are better than a lot of no-name brand wheels on the market, not to mention stock wheels. They're not made of foam or plastic lol. I don't mind picking up a set for DD at all. They are considered "replica" wheels because they copy the styles of popular wheels on the market.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

buttom line is i really dont like fake stuff, unless its sth thats really minor. Lip kits etc, even tho the authentic one is obviously better, better made better quality with decent fitment.

No the wheels you said are over priced.
Just because they look baller doesn't mean they are the best quality.
Volk monoblock(TE37, CE28N etc) are 8000 ton forged. So is Neez.
FYI HRE are 4000 ton forged.
Volk is one of the strongest and lightest wheels if not THE strongest and lightest.

I bet you have never seen the fitment on those 10g Carlsson.
You will be surprised.
