brand name work wheel= 25lbs it cost him $1800 for 17's
my cheap wheels (or knockoffs what ever you want to call it)= 20lbs and my rims are bigger, wider, and lighter and it only cost me $600 for a staggerd set and it looks better than his $1800 wheels!!!!
so whats the point of buying brand name stuff??? sorry but i dont like being played for a fool!!!! why spend almost twice as much when you can get more paying less???? just cause you have brand name stuff doesnt mean your car looks good,you can spend all that money and still have a shitty looking car....
gotta play your cards right!!!!

for example, the point of buying a expensive wheels is for weight right. take these 2 brands for example rota wheels being the cheaper brand and work wheels being the high end brand.these are actual weight of the wheels my cousin bought the work emotion xd9 in 17x7 and you guys know that i have the rota d2's in 18x8 and 18x9(or a good set of copied wheels what ever you want to call them)

yeah the top floors can be repaired but it will be a much bigger project to eat through all the water damage created by the sprinklers.
ok, my .02 on knockoffs and stuff
with rims, mike is right....a rim is a circle piece of metal that in most cases is almost identical to every other rim. The only difference is what it looks like and the materials it is made of.
although when it comes down to body kits, it may be better to buy the name brand stuff because you are going on a gamble on fitment. For instance, the MS front bumper may be 1300 bucks, and the knock off may be 500.
the one difference is that the authentic bumper comes with factory paint and guaranteed fitment. So when you buy the knock off, you have to pay for test fit, 40 dollars an hour for fabrication for the part to fit. then quality paint may be another 500 bucks. So in the end you may actually be spending more with knock off body kits.
Also guys, im sorry to say that there is no way for me to go on the drive with you guys. My parents first of all don't think i am experienced enough to drive all the way down to the dam. even with them in the car with me.
and also, i caught the flu yesterday and feel terrible atm. Sorry guys
maybe next time

You can buy the Mazdaspeed kit either painted or unpainted. Besides that, I wish there was a knock off kit for the R Magic wide body, but there isn't.. That's why I'll be paying $5000+ for the kit!

i think front bumper is 900 bucks compared to the fake 1 being 800.
but the shipping is about a 200 dollar difference from each other, the fake 1 is from cali and the real 1 is from japan.
i dont know about the side skits.
