For those who want RTR look alikes

[LS1EATINPONY]

I was thinking about this and came across some wheels that are fairly new to the game. The company that makes them from what I understand uses molds from other wheel makers but alters the wheels with more concavity or convexness. If you want something like the RTR but not the RTR here is a nice wheel to consider.

Also, they make a Volk te37 look alike for a fraction of the price.

Nice find. Don't see a price list on their site though.

 

[LS1EATINPONY]

staggered usually runs around $1200 for a set I believe

Would like to see what shipping would be too. Thanks for sharing - they have some good lookin wheels. Like to see wheel weights too.

they look nice but all of their offsets are not s197 friendly

 

[jayman33]

Its not that great of a company if I remember correctly. I used to own a 350z and some peeps had bad experiences.

This^

 

[LS1EATINPONY]

ahhhh I wasnt sure about the offsets. that was the only thing. Is it possible to get the hubs shaved some on some lower offset wheels?

No there offsets are pretty damn focused out of the s197 use. My buddy has a set on his 350Z and they seem to be well made but When I went to their office to pick the wheels up he told me they had no wheels that i could run without poking

that's actually more of an F14 knock off. Nice.

Holy shit. What offset is that? +22, +12 or +0

RTR Look-a-likes.... Hysterical

RTR ripped off BBS.

But I certainly don't mind if all I'm going for is looks.

How did RTR rip off BBS? RTR is just the name of the package.

Well I felt they had a similar look and I was just posting it for people that didnt know about them to have more options.

@Digital Synapse
I do agree with them being more F14 like. Didnt even cross my mind. Good eye!

 

[LS1EATINPONY]

I am not a fan of poking tires but that actually kinda looks good. The rear is a little much for my taste but Im sure there be some modifications to the backside of the wheel hub to make it come in more

No need to get butthhurt over it.
Just look at any BBS race wheel from....oh I don't know...the last 30 fuckin years

I'm not butt hurt over anything. I mean there are a ton of fucking wheels that look like BBS.

Didn't you own Saleen rip off wheels at one point?

Theres always someone on here that wants to be a jackass. I call that trolling, getting on a random post and being a dick.
