Another look-alike brand that even has a homophonic name? That's awful. You know Volk = Rays, right? Say Rays and Raze...

Of course they look alright - they are copycats.

They will if you say you have "Raze" wheels, because there's no way to know that means "Raze" and not "Rays." It is especially lame if they have stickers on them saying Raze, but I can't see any in that pic.

There are already copycats who make this rim that aren't named "Raze."

The question was "can anyone help me find these wheels in an 18x9?". I do not remember reading "can you please give your opinion on knock offs and proper English?"

Try http://www.machiii.net/razewheels.html

They are not listed on the site. Since they are new wheels I doubt you find a vender with an updated webpage. So any vender that sells the brand “Raze” can probably get them. Good luck.

Since when do you only get what you ask for? He can Google for "Raze" just as easily as the rest of us, and if he calls to ask for "Raze," he will end up with Rays unless he specifically spells it out.

Or, he can get the same rims from others like Rota right now without a copycat name.

Oh yes be careful you might end up paying 2600.00 for the 1000.00 wheels you called for. Make sure when you say I want those Rays knock offs, you say I want to pay knock off prices. They may get confused.

Very good point Warrtalon, you are absolutely right nobody wants to be played for a fool right?
