who makes a rp03 look-a-like replica?
 
Just looking for a simple 18x8/8.5 that looks somewhat close to the Enkei RP03's. I fell in love with the way the they look on the 8s :Drooling_ and would like to have a set, just not teh real thing.

I know what your thinking.. don't get knock offs, but keep in mind, this will be on my daily driver, and I want the piece of mind that nobody is going to want to steal em. no matter where I park it " with common sense of course :p: "

and anything is better then what came on the car when I bought my 8 last night, its just not my cup of tea. heres a picture below.

I think they are made by Mazzi, style 345.

Wow whoever you bought that 8 from should definitally get a big punch in the face for putting those hideous wheels on such a beautiful car.

tubingchamp 01-04-2009 12:57 PM

Agreed.

I know right?? I need to get them off asap. I'd rather be rolling on donuts rubbed in dooky

very nice, would you know how much they would weight?

YaXMaNGTO 01-04-2009 02:34 PM

Congrats on getting the 8. Oh god those are some bad wheels. Phew!

chrism 01-04-2009 02:49 PM

Sorry I do not know the weight specs mine are 20" staggered.and was able to get them locally for $1k with tires brand new so that answers the question for why

My car is daily driven with full competition stereo and all authentic real parts, including 19" Work's that retail for over 800 bucks apiece, not only that but I compete with it in regional and national shows all the time. There really is no reason to go knockoff unless you're impatient, cheap, or are comfortable driving around on fake stuff, just save up and buy real ones. I just don't understand why alot of the people on this forum can afford nice cars, but can't afford to mod them properly, makes no sense to me at all. :dunno:

RPO3's aren't expensive.

chrism 01-04-2009 06:59 PM

I wish I could trust even half the people over here in California, the way you do over in Texas. Its not that I can't afford the Enkei's, its the lack of faith in people over here in Cali.

I already had a set of Volk stolen off my Integra once before. and that was with 2 different wheel locks per wheel " the A holes also took my stock driver side seats...:icon_no2: "

So at least with replicas, even if they do get nicked, It wouldn't be too big of a hit. And even with fake rims on, it'll look ALOT nicer then the ones I'm rolling with now... besides, I bet these things wieght like 50+lbs, I'd think my 8 would love to shed that weight off :rofl:

I haven't been able to find any at all anywhere. Although... I haven't tried ebay lol.

chrism 01-04-2009 08:49 PM

i paid 500 new shipped from ebay, but they were 17x7

gregs 01-04-2009 08:49 PM

^^i feel you... i had a set my previous car stolen and and stripped down and of course they stole my volk te-37's get what you are comfortable with its your car..hope my info has helped you

9krpmrx8 01-04-2009 11:16 PM

If you ever had expensive rims stolen that were not covered by insurance you would understand buying inexpensive wheels.

Endless Rotaries 01-09-2009 12:45 AM

J Wind,

Hit me up. I reside in the Bay Area but bounce back and forth to our SoCal warehouse.

I can surely find something in your price range. You'll need to PM me what your budget is and your payment method.

Cash or CC???

Even if they aren't like the RP03's I GUARANTEE I'LL FIND SOMETHING WAYYYYY BETTER THAN WHAT YOU GOT representing how the 8 should be done.

I'm also good with lightweight affordable wheel options for the 8.

Thanks, Rishie

Endless Rotaries 01-09-2009 12:46 AM

Oh and RP03's, hmm you should PM me and i'll give you the forum deal. I'll definitely let you know if they fall into your budget.

alz0rz 01-09-2009 01:41 AM

Rotas.

And yes.. those wheels that came with your car are RIDICULOUS.

kersh4w 01-09-2009 01:56 AM

you should go to oakland and stand on a corner with a sign that says FREE RIMS!

haha, post them up on craigslist for $200 or something. or free. godawfullookingrimsugh.
