Rate my Knock Offs

Got some new 1LE Reps. Definitely knock offs but love the look. Tires were amazon specials but some how ride better than the stock good years? I'll be laying down the rubber quickly with this so couldn't justify another $2k on tires.

Satin Black. Need to do something with my center caps. Can't find anything that's 62mm. May do gloss black bowties.

What do you think?

Very nice. Are those MRR 1LE reps?

They look nice. I do like them in black as opposed to the dark gray of the OEM 1LE wheels. I always worry about how well replica wheels are made though. The OEM 1LE wheels are forged and built to handle the stress put on them by the car.

They are nice looking wheels, it's like a unique take on the design.

Might just be the angle of the picture, but they do look different from the original 1LE wheels. The MRR's look much closer to my eye.

Like I said, could be just the angle of the pic, though

Looks great!

I've been running the MMR replicas for years now. I got them in the satin grey, and had them sprayed with a glossy clear coat for protection and some shine. I love them.

I'm not a creative person by any means, but I must boast about my "ghost ties"

Nothing was available for 62mm so I decided to go for gloss black decals off Etsy. My rims are complete now.

Total price:

$940 Rims
$510 Tires (4 new atturos OE 1le spec)
$10 Decals

Not for everyone. What setup are you running?

Frankly I’m sure they’re made by the same factory in China as the MRR knock offs, so might as well save a few bucks and they look identical. For street use the flow formed wheels are fine. If you decide to track or roll race with big power down the road, then I’d suggest getting the OEM 1LE wheels (or some other higher quality wheels).

Same exact factory as MRR but stamped differently. That's why I took the chance. No track or mods expected. Looking to keep my 2SS stock under the hood.
