yeah they are made out of paper mache and birds nests, no good.

It's true but that has always been the case

back in the day IBM was the OEM and Intel and AMD were clones and now Intel is the big boy you can find brands in SD cards like that also stemming back from 5.25" discs

Actually Intel made the first 8088 cpu which was put into the first IBM "PC" (the XT), which was based upon the Intel 8008, the first 8 bit microprocessor.

The 8088 was used in preference to IBM's own 801 processor, even though that cpu was more powerful than the 8088...

For response look post above

I bought the varrstone's and many of people have bought the Grid's, if the were so s**t people wouldn't buy them. I have no problem at all saying I bough Varrstone for my rig.

Lol. Ok.

It wouldn't have anything at all to do with the fact that some people just don't want to splash the big coin for genuine gear.

[Damo_R34]

lol, id rather talk about religion than wheels with all of you haters

[J - Rad]

Really its a matter of choice. I mean no one cares when you spend hundreds of dollars for preschool style welding from AM Performance, why does it matter what wheels others buy for their cars?

[Madaz]

nice bit of defamatory comments there

[Jap_star]

Particularly of a club sponsor.. tsk tsk

I'm eagerly awaiting your how to guide for titanium lobster back piping j rad

This ^^^

Replica wheels are inferior in every way.

The more people supporting them the worse off for our scene, what happens if rays for example went broke as a result, coincidentally these brands would have no 'new styles'

Oh an for the record nothing about them is better, other than the price is cheaper.

Mad props to SAPOL for speed trapping the only 500m stretch of the parade that is 50km/h. Saving heaps of lives there guys. My tax dollars were definitely going to good use, paying for the 2 patrol cars and 4 cops mulling around as I cruised past at 45.

[dark.sky]

What J-Rad said isnt really defamatory, just sayin'.

Anyway, on the subject of wheels, I have genuine RAYS wheels, yet then I get given shit about how they are 'weak' offset. Can't win! lol

[On Edge]

Way Better than having replica wheels

[Tangles]

Im quite COMFY with my 17" BobJane T-Mart specials @ $125 each. They were on the stagea & I was very happy with how they looked, now they are on the track car.

Went along with some no-name ebay specials "drif-z" 18" mags on the stagea & am very happy with those. I dont see the need for brand name rolling stock.

thanks Brendan ill look further into it tomorrow

I'm very glad I waited for my nismo lmgt4, and I was more than happy to pay a premium for quality Rays Engineering rims. I could have gone for cheaper (inferior) rotas, but I was specifically holding out for the 'real thing'.

[craig R33]

lol, the fake wheel debate lives on

i'm hoping the +18 offset 18x9.5 Enkei RPF01's are considered the 'real thing'

Love em, just don't have an excuse to spend the $2k on them.... yet...

Enkei's arnt fakes. They are not trying to be something there not an are high quality,

Cheap wheels are fine so long as they are not trying to be something they are not. replicas are what ticks me off.
