Also, you can get real wheels slightly used for similar prices as buying new replicas. That way you support the original designer and you can be sure of the quality (and you don't have to make a thread saying reps are awesome to make yourself feel better) I'm just saying guys..I used to buy varrstoens for all of my cars because I loved em. I legit had them on 2 cars at once... Then after a bunch of research I was able to find some decent condition used wheels locally. I went to regamasters, blitz, and SSRs then volks (in that order) for similar prices as the cost of getting new replicas plus taxes and shipping.
Try looking at local forums and websites and see what you find before buying brand new replica's.
Finally, when you buy legit/real wheels they often keep their value. If I buy a set of TE37s slightly used for 3k. and I don't smash them up over the course of a year. I can probably sell them again for 3k the next year. It's just the initial investment that is hard for some people.
Compared to paying 1.2k for a set of varrstoens, then selling them for like 800 bucks when you're done with them (if somebody will buy them and not lowball you)
Just me 2 cents fam

I get what your saying to a extranet. For one I would lose my sh*t if I ****** up a 3k set of wheels.. I didn't buy cheap reps. They reps I use and forged as well. They suit my needs I'm so sick of everyone saying "name brand or nothing" and no I'm not trying to make my self feel better about my purchase lol.. I have more then enough money to actually purchase a set of name brand wheels.
