I look at them like I look at fake rolex's, fake gucci bags, or anything out of China Town in NY. Their shit is fake, and all the people that you are attempting to impress know it's fake.

Pay attention. 5zigen FN01RC's. Where does one find a rock so big to be sheltered from such wheels? They're in my own postwhorin self's sig for God's sake.

Relax Pres, if you don't have Rota's its fine. .
Ya, it is a bit of a soft-spot to know that people on this site think I cheap out on my car, or that I think that cheaping out is acceptable.

Of course it is fine I don't have Rota's. It would be wrong of me to disgrace my car with Rota's.

Listen, don't get me wrong. If you kids are driving 2gnt's that aren't worth more than the Volks you want to buy, that's one thing. But there is something wrong with stealing other companies designs and selling it for a fraction of the price. If you have Rota's, don't expect much love (at least from me).

No, sorry Press. No Rota's here. I am actually saving for the Advans on my avatar. Twenty two hundred w/o tire. So no cheap stuff in my car. Cheapest thing that I may be the custom exhaust system.

Yes but not only is there a difference in the qualtiy of the rim cheap rims are heavier and and bend easier.

To me its not just the fact of cheaping out on your car its like going to the flea market and buying some copies of Nikes or something, it just feels wrong lol. Then what REALLY gets me is buying like Drag wheels or something which makes copies of Rotas so pretty much you would have copies of copies. I mean that's just wrong!

Since it appears we have quite a few ricers on here who think cheap wheels are all the same as REAL wheels check out this site and see what real wheels look like
Memoryfab - New and Used JDM Wheels
RARE JDM WHEELS





BTW I think I am in love with you President95 LMAO you are the only person on this site it seems that actually understands the bond between car owner and REAL wheels.
