thank you sir

*Sigh*..I expect to see people excited about those on the 350 forums..but not here...

Dont worry...once you curb it, a rock hits them, hit a pothole, or something hard in the road you will relize why you should have gone with the REAL thing lol

I guess unless you baught your 370 and making less then 30k a year..barely able to make the payments then I can understand, I was there the first 2 years I had my 350.

I should also mention this, you can get a set of TE's in near perfect condition if you go over to the 350z forums for cheap. People always sell used sets for around $2500 with tires around 60% tread.

dont worry, the real volks get ****** from rocks, and curb damage too. pot holes shouldnt be a problem. my last set of wheels were north of 4k, and i regretted it. for daily, id rather have a set of wheels, keep em for a year, since i change my mind so much.

people use the axis wheels, tsw ect, those are all around 1k for a set too. soon as wheels look like they cost more than they do, people get bent out of shape.
for my car, i dont beat on it. the wheels are for looks, and to use instead of spacers since i dont like them. these fits my needs. i make close to 100k a year, but still do not see the point of spending that kind of cash of wheels for a 35k car. rather save my 2500 for a part of the s/c.

Let me know how the quality is, it may be an option outside of powdercoating my F14's in Bronze.

I guess you have more experience with aftermarket rims then me *shrugs*. I upgraded(or possibly downgraded) through the 3 different type of OEM rims for the Z before I got my first set of aftermarkets. I Daily drive me car right at 100 miles a day so Iv already experienced the little things.

I just know from friends and experiences of replicas on the forums the issues that could occur.

And for the record...I wasnt always a Volk nut hugger...before I became a member of the Z forums my opinion on rims wasnt tainted, I liked any rim as long as the color suited me...any rim

mattjk · 11-23-2009, 11:15 AM

I have wheels on my show ae86 that cost more than real te37's, but i'm not going to daily them here in downtown la where the roads are getting worse and worse by the day. The Z, I do drive daily and I don't want to bend a $3300 set of wheels on a pothole or 4" tall asphalt bump.

Gunzero · 11-23-2009, 11:21 AM

cool rims

i am considering them. i change my mind to damn much, and these are still lighter than the two piece volks i wanted. they look clean. will post here if i get them tomorrow.

jon

are they actually certified, or are they just stamped that they are certified?

let's not forget, there are other, similar replicas that just came out that are stamped "forged" - and nothing could be further from the truth

Tuner350 · 11-23-2009, 09:34 PM

my theory is you get what you like. and with the economy the way it is my extra money that im saving from buying these is going to savings/my new family. but i dont pose like i have volks(aka fake stickers and sh1t like that) ill have no problems saying the are reps....

All replicas are not bad. I rocked Porsche replicas for about 2 years on my VW. They were strong as hell!
