well i dont know about the weights of the rims, but i do know theres a different between real and fake, they look exactly different. people can tell right the way. i would get it if they looks the same at least for the style, but not those fake concept 5 ,6,7,8,9,10 hehe =)

Dude, dont do it, fake rims take all the style and class out of this car, plus they dont look as good and brake/bend easier.

Fake, Katana is one of the big fakers. Amir if you are really interested in fake rims get the magazine "Turbo". It has a lot of ads in the back for fake rims. I must have seen 5 different fake LD1's in the back of that magazine.

thanks KCP, do u know anyone with fake rims...i spoke to a rim guy today, and he said fakes would probably be the same as the real thing, when it comes to it being reliable or not...like he said that they would bend like any other rim...no difference.

this is getting kinda frustrating for me, i really dont get WHY more people dont have "fake" rims...i mean,,,is it only cause their fake? .. so far, i havent seen any disadvantages..

Sh!tty construction - clear coat chips
Cast not forged - tend to bend more
1 piece, not 3 piece - wrong offsets for our car

I bought a set of Giovanna Kyotos (RH C5s) about a year ago. Man those things suck. The clear coat was chipped already, and the offset was not that good, I think +45 was the best they could do in 18x7.5. Well they send me the wrong offset to begin with +40, so I returned them and got my RH C2s.

Granted, most forged, quality 3-piece wheels will run you in the $2000 - $2500 range and up, but I'd rather spend the money now then later. I knew when I placed for the order for the Giovannas I wasn't going to be happy.
