That red ring around the Tires makes your car look horrible when its not! Reminds me of oldschool Caddys with the White walls! Red Walls = Epic Fail!

^ Yes Exactly

To Clear Confusion. The wheels on the White IS (areukhmer) are AUTHENTIC WORK VSXX IN BS.

I posted a picture of a "cheaper replica" that was broken that had been asked about in a previous post. Below

I totally disagree Joe. "Don't Drink and Drive" saves lives.

I searched the net (just curious) how many drivers actually died due to replica wheels breaking, I couldn't find a single article/law suit. Then I searched how many drivers died from drunk driving, you don't want to know the statistics. All I can say, you have a greater chance of getting killed by a drunk driver.

Totally off topic. Apples to oranges. If you want more info on rep wheels, this is website is pretty informing http://reviews.ebay.com/The-truth-ab...00000007814191

Now Lets get back on topic....

Why so serious? haha

He didnt mean for it to be interpreted in a literal, statistical manner. But the seriousness of the matter is, for the somewhat rare complete failure of a replica wheel, they can put your life/car/those around you in danger. Buy authentic

Drinking and driving is a topic best suited for the clubhouse or other forums.

Back to pics! (At work, photobucket blocked, otherwise I'd get it going again )

haha...sorry, I wasn't trying to be too serious, and I don't mean to take this off topic. Just replying to Joe's comment. Joe posted "authentic rims saves lives", ok fine. I want to ask Joe how many drivers died from replica wheels?

back to topic.
