being one i know exactly what you mean. but i am one that likes the real deal, and am willing to wait the extra length of time it takes for me to get the money. some stuff i skimp on and buy the cheap stuff like clothes and food. but when it comes to my cars and watches i go with nothing but the best. i don't know many college students that rock a $350 watch everyday. and to me that is a cheap watch. can't wait till i graduate and i am going to buy myself this.

only a mere $6,000

but i feel your pain. there is a lot of stuff i want to buy but won't settle for the copies.

what do watches have to do with rims? Who cares if they are the fakes. They all do the same thing.

just showing a comparision. they do the same thing yes, but one is real and one is fake. kind of like badging up a V6 with GT stuff in my opinion. but if you are cool with it. then it's no deal.

$6k for a watch is stupid.

Thats polished kenne bell or turbo money.








Who cares if its fake? No ones going to say "Hey nice wheels... oh wait THEYRE FAKE!!! YOU RICER! CANT AFFORD THE REAL STUFF?!?" No, theyre wheels... if they look nice they look nice. No ones going to give two chits unless its a snobby little bitch.

Take some advise from someone who has learnt the hard way. You do not want to buy replica's or aftermarket if they are not made by a tier one manufacturer. You also only want the rims if they are forged or low/high pressure cast. If they are not built this way then you will be paying the extra $115 in replacements.

Less than 3 month ago I purchased a set of Smoothie II's from Boyd Coddington, after hitting one highway lip, the rims are now toasted.

Good Luck with what ever you decide

maybe it's stupid to you. but not to me. i'll have a Kenne Bell too.
as for them being fake it's not the fact that they are FAKE. it's the fact the the quality is not usually up to par. once again that's why i said it is my opinion. some people are cool with it. i am not. and i see $115 as worth it to get the true Ford Racing wheels, but that is just me!
