[QUOTE=jvallido;12199924]im really interested with the 18x9.5 +22 offset for my tl-s.

am i the only one here considering running these is a 19" setup, i feel left out, maybe i shouldnt hav traded my 3g TL for a 2g TSX...lol

jvallido

19's would be money but im not that extreme with the low offset. it def looks like major fender stretching needs to be done and i only plan to roll the rears.

jvallido

and tires for 18's are cheaper

My 19" Toyo Proxes 4's were around $800

Hmmm, What makes a certain wheel "fake"?

Are work wheels fake in your eyes?? I mean the meisters are an EXACT replica of the SSR professors, right?!

Haha, he has a point. Putting staggered replicas on a FWD car doesn't make sense, but in my defense, some people prefer form over function, like myself.

SSR SP1's btw look close to Meister S1's but are very different wheels.

But compare a Leon Orden wheel and a Work Euroline SL, or even a Maya DTS and a Rays Lexion 203. I think the difference between all of these said wheels and replicas are pretty easy to distinguish though, lol.

i guess people compare the quality of it. i can see why he feels they are fake because its not forged and weighs more but for the price people pay for volks makes the Vorsteinns look cheap.

honestly theres so many rims out there its hard to really make a design that much more different than the next and not everyone knows what a top brandname rim is anyways. usually only autoenthusiats know something about volks and such. Like most of the other non enthusiast TL owners out in the world probably cant tell the difference between real TEs and fake TEs.

ive seen many people in audis drive with Fake RS4 rims but i cant even tell unless they tell me. quality is off but looks wise its a perfect match

jvallido

with this economy... fakes are the way to go! lol

ABP_04TL not bad but i would go with Gold or bronze in my ABP

I wish they had better offset for our cars. I just bought some rims so these might be next wheels when they come with better offset.

If you don't think these wheels are fake/knockoff, then why did you put it in the title of your thread? ...

I don't think it's the fact these look exactly like the Volk TEs is why people are calling them fake. It's because they are made by an unknown company and are simple cast aluminum. Volk TE37s are forged, extremely well made, and are extremely lightweight. These wheels are the complete opposite of all 3 of those characteristics (i'm sure they aren't crap, tho).

And giving the example of Work Meisters to SSR Professors is completely irrelevant here. Both Work and SSR are very well known and highly regarded wheel companies who both make high quality wheels. So you cannot use that comparison here...

Whether you like it or not, these wheels are fake/knockoff versions of the Volk TE37s.

EDIT: I just want to point out that I have nothing against these wheels or anyone buying them, I actually think that Teal color they have is . I may consider picking up a set for the hell of it.

Evan, not a bad chop, but the tires will never tuck under your fenders as you have shown in the picture, unless you get their really conservative sizes, i.e. 18x8 +35.

But with the 18x9 +15, you'll need to stretch the tires and it will not tuck like that.

I thought id never see the day when Brian would choose knockoff wheels over quality wheels that he has had. But there must be a good reason for this. If it were me id buy the real deal te-37's but thats just me

Running 225/40/18 Hankook Ventus HRIIs. From what I hear, they have a sidewall equivalent to the Falken 512s so I would need the most stretchy and narrow running tires I can. I just can't do 215s =[ not on a TL lol


Definitely.....almost by 30%

looks good on ABP

maybe Brian felt he's done a lot of wheel whoring with legit wheels it's time to settle down lol....

well that's how I sure feel nowdays...18 wheels all but one were brand name...drains your wallet and soul

wrxyboy

iTrader: (2)

exactly why you spend more money wheel whoring than settling on a quality wheel and stickin with it. I know its hard to stick with one wheel as i keep wanting to change the look as well, but settling down with a quality wheel is better than a knockoff wheel

In the end, it's just wheels on a car.

It's all about what YOU like and what you can afford.

I've seen waaaaaay too many threads lately on "what wheels do you guys like better", or "which tails look better".

HokAy

im assuming we can get better center caps than that bland thing? or does that come with it. cause that really make it look cheap lol.

Hey Tim, you said those tires were 225's? What make/model tires are they? That setup is HOT!! Looks really good man

jvallido

225/40/18 Hankook Ventus HRIIs is what he mentioned?

and that's +15 all around? i was expecting to poke a little more with that offset.

-MiG-

iTrader: (3)

+1

But thats a 9" wheel.. Maybe on a 9.5 +15 is where the pokes at.. But i thought it was ganna be more pokage going on, looks no point though!

kill4tank

where can these be purchased?
