I ain't complainin, the look good, and aren't very heavy.
These are Volvo C30 Sport 18" Replica Wheels. They aren't exactly the same as volvo's stock wheel. The Allen Bolts and Black chrome were the non-stock addition to these wonderful replicas.

Located in Mississauga, a tirecraft dealer. At the time I got a wicked deal because they had a North American Auto Show special.

Whats the cost on those babies? BTW do they come from Florida or Cali, or are they imports? I want to get a set too, Hopefully they come in hyper black.

How do you know what is a Replica?? Why is it a Replica??
A company could liscence their product and produce the same rims with a different name. They are not fake/replicas.
Different companies could buy the same moulds to cast/forge the rims and end up with the same rims in their cataloge.
Not really such a thing as fake rims.

Because a replica is a copy. If Rota/Drag copies a wheel, it's a replica.

MB AMG/BMW M-series/Audi S-series Made in Taiwan rims?
that can also be purchased in BC autos? and Pacific mall?
OK let me clarify that one then. I have replica's.
"Fakes" would be 'Work' wheels that sell for $400 a set :p

Those aren't even that similar.. look at all the Rota/Drag wheels..
From Rota's website:
The Rota wheels are mostly replica wheels of the Spoon, Mugen, and VOLK Wheels.

I dont like FAKE wheels. As in the sets of Volks for $400 that say Volk on them. But I like replica wheels. Not everyone wants to drop $2600 on a set of 18" Volk wheels. I would rather save $1000 and buy some other mods, and have wheels that look as nice... albeit maybe not as light ;)

Who cares if you have fake rims. Not everyone is made of money. If you can find a nice set of rims that look good on your car that's all that matters.

Some replica wheels are nice and good quality, don't even mention they are much cheaper. It won't cost you a left nut.

Now I know how so many people have rims. I always thought people were crazy to spend $2500 on rims when they can't even afford their car payments.

It all depends on the car.. if you're driving an expensive car, you need expensive wheels.. A BMW M3 with Fast Wheels should warrant arrest :P
