Just mounted: 18x9 G Force - Time Attack w/ RT615's
Can't really complain about it being an imitation wheel. All tuners basically copy one and another. I didn't hear anyone complain that Sustec pro 7 with it's electronic damping controller is a copy of the Tein's EDFC. Not just that, Buschur, AMS, ETS and a bunch of other turners has a GT35R turbo kit. It's like almost the same turbo kit, but sold by different tunners.
What I'm trying to say is, just appreciated it for being a nice set of rims on a clean car. Don't need to add in the imitation or knock off part.

I'm not saying it's completely bad, I mean you need to give a chance for the 16+ teens to mod their car somehow, and it's "ok" on cheaper corollas or whatever kids like to fix up nowadays. However, if you can afford an Evo and trusts your life on $200 a piece wheels that weights 24 lbs and you're telling others that it's "just as good" as the MAT technology that Advan uses to make their 18 lbs wheels then I'll be the first to say you're a fool.

Wrong...the parts you mentioned are all HIGH QUALITY parts even if they do share similar technologies. What you mentioned is "ok" in my book - taking a design and further improving on it. Or even making the same parts but in high quality construction and material. One example is the SSR SP1 versus the similar looking Work Meister S1 - we don't know who copied who but they look utterly similar but both are forged barrels, cast center, high quality wheels. However, simply copying and making a worse quality wheels is like buying a Chinese Rolex in my book.

Very cool.
I am looking to update my ride in a few months, looking for an 18x9 wheel, that can fit 255/35/18. I don't mind rolling the fenders, but would prefer no spacers.
I see this requires a 3mm spacer, which isn't too bad, but any recommendations on something similar that would work with no spacers?
Thanks!
