Varrstoens

I dont know who came on here and said "OMG these replica wheels are such garbage that you cant drive your car on them."

That entirly not true. I have been weekend drifting on these reps and hauling a$$ and driving like I stole it for 2 years now.... ZERO PROBLEMS.

Like I previously said, Haters gunna hate cus there Authentic TE37's cost 3+ times more... Daily driving and the occassional messing around these will be just fine.

BTW, VERY FEW actually drift/track 5K wheels anyways...

MyKindaGuise

This is all accurate. I did some more asking around myself and alot of miata guys all track/drift with reps and not the real deal. Personally I dont blame them. I think I may just pull the trigger on those black chrome 2.2.2's that just came out.

I agree completely, I honestly think the "fear" of replicas comes from pics on the Internet of broken wheels... They just don't tell you that the guy hit a curb at 85MPH, and ANY wheel would break, yeah, real ones would bend, but bent to hell vs broken is the same to me

Neither will roll when its said and done. However, the reps you can buy a whole new set for what it would cost to re-buy that 1 real rim.

1st

Volk is over rated. Replicas for Ftw!

Just take my advice, unless your going to legit car shows trying to win awards and get reactions outta people there is really no reason to NOT buy reps... Most of those situations where there is a busted wheel and everybody is freaking out is just bashing cus there stuff got messed up and its gunna cost serious $$$ to replace of fix.

Think...Out of those Dozens of wheels which failed, usually because of retarded circumstances; how many thousands of sets of the same wheel work without fail....for years...

Ill rock replicas just so I can make fun of the guys who have the real thing.Escpecially when my car looks better than theirs :P

Volk Z

That's a bold statement. I'm thinking on the replica wheel page that blatently knocks off Volk wheels this statement is a bit much.

I think some people have forgotten the fact that Volk TE's are around 6-7 pounds or more lighter per wheel then the Varstoen knock off.
In unsprung weight that's a huge difference.

That being said I have had 3 sets of Volks and love them but I am not going to bash the replicas, but please don't bash the real deal. The comparison of the 2 even as they look the same are worlds apart.
