Re: Knockoffs

It depends on the wheels. Ford makes the fr500 wheels but they do not make them in 18x10 or black chrome, which is why I went with a nock off. But if it is wheels that just look like the real thing than I would go name brand.

Re: Knockoffs

y not? can't figure there is but so many wheel companies in the world who acutually make wheels and the rest just distribute them. brand names are ok but i like value. knocks on street car yes, on drag/circuit/high hp street car, no

Re: Knockoffs

Well depends on wheels, if I can get real wheels for resonable price ill get them, but I'm poor college student, so usually go with knockoffs an save money for go fast goodies!

Re: Knockoffs

I can't put fake rims on my car. I would rather not have wheels for a while as I save up.

Re: Knockoffs

I meant knockoffs as in the 3 pronged dealy that is mounted to the center cap.

For example, Raceline GT wheels can come with knockoff or not

With

Without
