A wheel style that is "copied" by another company is almost universally accepted amongst the car community. As mentioned already, there are plenty of good quality companies out there that offer wheels, both original and not, in every price range. Once you start trying to pass them off as original is when people start to take exception.
Take BBS LM's for example. There's tons of replicas out there and most distributors even offer BBS caps and barrel stickers on them. Does the average Joe know that they're replicas? Probably not. To the untrained eye, you cant tell that they're cast 1-piece and don't have proper engravings. Just like most people outside of their respected hobby dont know enough or care about replica shoes, luxury watches, designer goods, etc...

Drive around New York these potholes are sneaky.
And to the dude saying I have 1 piece knockoff work wheels. Talkin bout step down lips and such. I'd like to see a pic of your wheels. Because I dont think you really bout that life like that. Sitting here on NT got nothing better to do but hate on someone elses stuff. If you dont like it a simple "Im not a big fan of the replica wheel market" wouldve been fine. Dont come out saying theyre **** the suck lolol fake wheels. Grow up. You probably drive a v6 mustang anyway.

And just some food for thought. There are low quality wheels that the style is replicated off of CCWs, BBS, Work, and so on on which are made like crap using cheap material *cough XXR cough*. But there are also companies out there who replicate the design of the wheel and the quality is there. So before sounding ignorant, do research on something before knocking something. Are they authentic? No, they share a design based off the style of a popular high end wheel. That doesnt always mean that the quality is garbage. Just because it shares the same design doesnt mean its ****.

^ I got you covered when I make it to the crib later on this month . Fake is fake to me no matter what , for some they can make exceptions for me their is no substitution. I'm not going call someone out on the street for having reps on their whip the se way I wouldn't knock some one for wearing knock off shoes or Gucci , but if a convo comes up about said product and we comparing or they trying to stunt with they knockoff they need to be knocked down a peg or 2 back to reality and they situation .

But on topic what is everyones next car choice and why cause this thread is getting so off topic

But who was stuntin' though. I said my wheels were replicas. If I was sruntin' I wouldve been like "JDM Work Equip 03s" My wheels are replicas, I get it. I understand they are replicas, you understand theyre replicas, and you dont like replicas. I think we all get it, but dont knock the quality if you dont know bout them. They arent no XXRs where they shatter to pieces. Thts just being ignorant.

I understand what youre saying, but don't try to bring up a what if scenario. If I came into this thread acting like that then you have all rights to call me out, but I didn't so your argument is invalid. If you have real BBS rs or Work autostrada modenas with rare offsets thats sick. I'll compliment you on your possesion. Dont try to rub it in my face though. Im sorry there's a **** ton of thieves over here in NY. Id love to purchase authentic wheels as well and rock them on my civic. Too bad theyd be taken in an hour. This guy with a maxima maximaon my block his wheels been taken 3 times since february. Stock maxima wheels so let that sink in and realize the stuggle I have to deal with everyday. wakin up hoping my car aint on the rotors, theese theives arent even nice enough to put it on bricks anymore.

Why do you people always argue? I mean it's not even trying to get your point across at this point some of you people just can't seem to get along....anyways to go back to slicknick's question my next car choice would be a 2006 WRX STI just because I've always wanted one of those puppies.

I have on my Jeep a set of gloss black SRT reps from Factory reproductions. I have my OEM forged ones in storage just in case. But I have hit some decent sized potholes here in the city that I didnt see and the rims are in tact not bad for cast rims from china.
I guess its just on borrowed time but so far they have been great.
Always have the OEM wheels as a backup just in case is my advice.

Damn son . I ain't no they was still doing it like that up there , but I always had a garage or designated parking in a lot every time I was up there. And I know you didn't come in this thread like that , stunting or showing off, but you were justifying your purchase and and I was stating my opinion on reps in general , you and a few others took offense to it and that's cool every bodies not gonna agree with everybody . I'm not worried about the next man whip or nothing like that just like your not concerned with mine to that degree we just in thread conversing about cars and their inner workings and looks and our opinions on them no need for any bodies jimmies to russled in this thread honestly

Reaosn? Because I love this car. From the body style down to the way I feel when I drive it.
This is my actual shot too, from when I was at the dealer...
