    Road Force Replica wheels? Anyone heard about them?

    Hey guys, i was just wondering if anyone heard about the RF replica wheels... (I know replicas suck in general, but hey, being on a budget sucks even more) Their style 5s replicas look pretty nice and im thinking of possibly getting them, but decided to ask here first.

    Thanks

    P.S. their site http://www.rfwheels.com

    No experience with them but I can tell you right now they're likely to be exactly the same as every other replica wheel. They've got all the same castings, so most probably out of the same factory.

    With that said, "fake" wheels are fine. The only people that whinge about them are poser kids with crappy stretched tyres, JOM coilovers and no need for their lightweight forged racing wheels anyway.

        Their style 5 reps are $800 for a set, and at the end of the day they're only 16's and fake splits. Why not just refinish a set of real ones yourself for not much more?

            They make a good rep but the bolts look nothing like BBS hardware and they are the more expensive of the reps. Better off picking up 17" BBS style 5's and refinishing them. Only issue is getting them on your 4x100 car.

              Ive got them and I didnt pay nearly 800 for them hahaha. I got mine off ebay for 600 shipped. Only one person who has ever looked at them noticed the bolts are wrong. But yeah they are different. The good thing about these bolts is they are actually metal. My friend just got some esm 002 and the bolts look correct and all but they are plastic and he got them with 7 of them cracked. Anyway, I love my RF wheels. No trouble with them ever.

              PS: RF are cheaper than ESM........There is another brand on ebay thats about as cheap too but i forget the name.

                  Because then you will be a poser kid with crappy stretched tyres, JOM coilovers and no need for their lightweight forged racing wheels anyway. Duh.

                    I dont see how one can be a poseur with real BBS wheels vs reps.

                    I wouldn't hesitate to get the 16" rf style 5's though at $600 shipped. That's a fair price.
