Fake Te37's

[GTAAAH]

Yo so i can get pretty decent deals on rims that my companies stores deal with but none of them really have anything decent.. most of them are crap quality rim companies and the decent ones like koya only really have 1 rim i'd want and not in the right size.

All the nice rims are like $3k + which sucks because i don't want race rims but i do want the sweet assed look

so anyone know anywhere i can get some FAKE black te37's in a 19X9ish size?

cheers

Rota make a fake LMGT4...but after seeing what happens when the let go, i'll pass. Go some 33 or 34R rims

go 2nd hand all my rims have been second hand and ive never paid more than 2.5k with decent tyres... TE37's, VSKF etc all looked new and were in the offsets i wanted.... ie fkn big and -ve

[Bliksem]

Fake rims FTL...

Second hand for sure... if ou want to freshen them up just get them sandblasted and powdercoated...

[GTAAAH]

ah ok, 2.5k is still too much for me for 2nd hand 37's, especially since the car won't benefit from having lighter wheels on thw street ><

I'll probably go the koya race tek's then, i can get them for less than a 3rd of the price of 2nd hand 37's.. sucks though, 37's are sweet

mate! all those tuk tuks with cannons and tiny rims! they drone like bitches!

but yes, if you want fake rims they will be heavy and not of great quality but somewhere like thailand or china would be the go

indeed they do. i think in black too., just take off the stickers and source some RAYS one or non at all. none the wiser

unless you a full blown race car driver, i wouldnt worry your only going to add .00001 second extra on you lap time plus you will save like 2 or 3g.

Umm excuse me....save 2 or 3g??? More like 2 or 3 kg per wheel if not more...

the only problem with these knock off's apart from the quality is the size, no one wants 17x7 or 18x8 and the offsets are usually pretty lame

you want 17x9, 19x10 etc

they make them for the try hard excel's and shit

try drifteks.. they came with my car i recently bought and they look alright and have decent width 17x9 and 17x8 the offset of the rear is good, the front could be a little better

excuse the ride height

ebay has fake GT-C's if your interested lol

the only wide rims (especially in 18, 19 inch+ sizes) are always expensive new, and the nice ones are usually pricey second hand too (if they even stay on the market for that long)

all the crappy Chinese or Taiwanese 'Vork Racing' by 'RAVS Engineering' and similar wheels are made in smaller sizes with pathetic widths (6", 6.5", maybe 7" if ur lucky) to suit FWD cars, and have huge offsets too

look at Commodores- even when they had 245mm tyres, the factory was still fitting them to narrow rims- hence when you look at aftermarket rims for them in 18" sizes, they are still fairly narrow

If you want anything over 9" wide and quality, to suit a Skyline, be prepared to spend some meaningful cash
