More power to ya man.. I would rather buy these and not have to worry about ruining my expensive *** wheels though..
you live in freakin southern cali man. dont make a stupid excuse like that to justify buying cheap wheels. just say i dont like to pay for expensive wheels or i just cant afford the real thing. either reason is fine, no one is gonna give you flack for that but that stupid excuse you used isnt gonna fly when you live in souther cali man.

You can think whatever you want man.. I'm done trying to defend my reasoning for buying these wheels.. What matters is that I like how they look on the car and I like the price I paid for them.

there you go, that's the attitude you need. you dont need to pose them as TE37's. you dont need to make excuses about not buying the real thing. you bought them because you liked them and nothing else matters. i think we can all respect that.

haha.. I guess I should have put it that way from the beginning and saved myself the hassle of trying to get my point across to everyone..

I got them from these guys:

https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...eels-19-a.html

It was during their "holiday" sale though, so I'm not sure if the price has gone back up or not. I know on craigslist they go for $1000.

So if you have "real" Volks, would it then be ok to put "TE37" in your sig as you're not rockin' replicas?

Looks good! Not a huge fan of the lip, but I like the new wheels.

I would have kept the sportmaxes. At least they're not replicas of another wheel

Eh, like I said, I didn't like the sportmaxx wheels one bit.. Gold and Silver dont mix well to me.. So replicas or not, I am happy with the new wheels.
