Default jp scara knock offs?

let me start by saying sorry to those whom i may offend or **** off by asking this.

my question is are there any knock offs of the junction produce scaras? i love those rims soo much but the price is soo out of reach for me. it set off my car soo much. besides i just fully totalled all four of my rims in a recent accident so i figure i should just go all out and spend the money for em but i still dont havfe enough for scaras or even close to it.



something like that, o and is it possible to fit an 18x 10" rim in the front??

I don't think that you will be able to fit 10" wide in the front. But knockoffs? Why not try something new within your price range?

10" wide can fit on the front. workaholic was running 18x10 on his 1st gen SC a few others were too with really aggresive offsets. Good luck finding a knock off with good widths. Most knock off's do 8.5 front and 9.5 rear.

I say buy something in your price range that is new and authentic or simply start saving , knock offs will always feel like knock offs .

i feel the same way, but money is just the issue here though. i have the oppourtunity to pick up the wheeels pictured in my first post for maybe 2500 ish and im hoping that those are authentic JP wheels.

so will an 18x 10 fit in the front on an sc400 with out major modification to the fenders?

they do look like real 18" wheels to me. If you can be patient, good things will come and I will make sure you are taking care of. look around Dec. time

Like Cherplex said, some members have run 18x10 all around on stock fenders.
Those are real. Save for the real ones

i dont want to tell you because your going to think im dumb, because i think im dumb for buying em. hahaha or crazy or any combination of both,.

disclaimer- i do plan o get a widebody kit first!! and this car is a once a month driven toy lol. not a daily driver.

if you must know they are fr 18x10 +4 offsets and r 18X11.5 -16 offsets so i have to rock some crazy negative camber to fit um .

Nice should be looking sick once you get it done. My next project will have a similar setup.
