Real or Fake

SgtGoldy

Hey guys, I found a company off craigslist that sells wheels and tires. I called him up and got a quote for Stance SC5's at 20x10.5 & 20x9 with Hankook v12 285 & 265. I was quoted at $2200.00. Is that to good to be true? And how would i be able to tell a real from fake? I don't want to get suckered, but i don't know crap when it comes to wheels.

Stance wheels are "replicas"

Just did a bit of research and CV3s are the "original" and to be honest I think I like the look of the Vossens more. Hopefully I can find a good deal on them :/

I contacted Diego at Vossen, just waiting on his PM reply.

Yea they are, but to me the vossens seemed kinda curved inwards instead more rigid, I don't know if that makes sense but I've seen them on some Z's and was crazy about them.

yea its that concave look. I like it on the G, not so much the Z. Same goes with the TE37's. On the Z they look sooo sexy, on the G they look out of place.

Yea they look really good in that pic, the Z..not so much. I would just try and save up a little more and get some legit wheels

My .02 cents. Get 19s. It's not a monster truck lol. Again, just my opinion. Your adding even more unsprung weight which is the opposite of what you wanna do. Unless you don't care about performance what so ever.

Im a performance guy, Im just not sure how much I dig the 19s on the G. We have a huge wheel well and it makes the 19s look tiny.

Also I have some 19 Volks right now that Ill probably keep. You know trade em out for the track if I ever get the free time to go. (plus GTR rolls em... so yea... GTR.... LOL)

If you are looking for performance than you don't want Vossens, 28lbs for a cast wheel vs 20lbs for a forged Volk is not worth it.

I have seen their wheels up close too and honestly don't seem like a quality wheel to me. I know they are a vendor on this forum and others run them but you will never see a set on any of my vehicles.

Keep your Volks

axmea?

That is not a great price. Did they break it down for you? Wheels, Tires, balance and mounting. For the price, you should be getting better tires.
