Of those 3, I pick (B).
Title: Re: Help me pick out my new wheels Post by: HEcreated487 on January 30, 2013, 11:51:28 AM ^^ I believe those may be the "replicas" with BBS caps? Otherwise, their price range wouldn't even compare to the other two wheels listed :)

Otherwise, their price range wouldn't even compare to the other two wheels listed :) Upon closer inspection, you are correct.. Those are reps.. In that case, I change my vote to (A).Title: Re: Help me pick out my new wheels Post by: du3ce on January 30, 2013, 12:07:39 PM if i get the tl-s i can just swap the tires from my oem rims to those but if i get the 18's i still have 4 spare tires from my previous car decision decisions lol
Title: Re: Help me pick out my new wheels Post by: timot_one on January 30, 2013, 01:29:02 PM I'd get the TL-S wheels. I'm not a fan of reps.
Title: Re: Help me pick out my new wheels Post by: Arielit0oo on January 30, 2013, 02:15:23 PM ^ Basically.
I'm rocking my TL-S right now, prob put some spacers on until I get legit wheels. Everybody and their mother has those cheap XXR wheels and I would only rock BBS reps if it was a temp. setup.

I would never run reps, even for a temp setup. OEM > Replica. /thread Title: Re: Help me pick out my new wheels Post by: du3ce on January 30, 2013, 05:33:36 PM Im liking optiin 1 and 2, i dont care if theyre reps im not trying to enter car shows or nothing
Title: Re: Help me pick out my new wheels Post by: du3ce on January 30, 2013, 05:38:21 PM So if i decide to get the second rims they run 18x8 35 front 18x9 40 rear my tires are 18x225x40 will they fit ok?
Title: Re: Re: Help me pick out my new wheels Post by: CrackerTeg on January 30, 2013, 06:46:25 PM Those tires would fit fine. Personally, I'd go with the square setup to be able to rotate tires.

Note: I'm not planning to extend this as a replica vs authentic battle, so this will be my last post in this thread.

Title: Re: Help me pick out my new wheels Post by: Arielit0oo on January 30, 2013, 09:45:03 PM I did say I will probably not do that bc you're right. That $1000 I spend on reps I can use for the real wheels :) I'm saying that would be the ONLY reason I do that, if I ever did. Doesn't mean I'm going to do it.
