The second people start debating or questioning whether it’s the real thing or the knockoff the owner will lose his interest. The owner will just move on to some other “exotic” good looking wheel that doesn’t have a knockoff. People buy CCWs mainly because of their customization. Hence Complete Custom Wheels. CCWs are played so I doubt anyone gets them for the rarity factor. Anyone who buys these will be jumping on a played bandwagon for the wrong reasons.=] > [@\*\*\*\*\*Official: Mighty Meet Thread\*\*\*\*\*](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-mighty-meet-thread/10918/3304): > > XXR wheels are actually pretty strong haha, I would buy these if I was in the market for bandwagon wheels Yeah. Well I wouldn’t buy them but CCW Race barrels have a greater chance of cracking then an XXR wheel has of bending and actually effecting you, IMO. > [@Project Quest...4/26](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/project-quest-4-26/36028/46): > > CCW’s aren’t even that expensive for a multi piece wheel. Yea they are more money than your shitty knockoff wheel that’s on every civic but they are proven quality race wheels. On and off the track. > > They are also made in the USA and their customer service is excellent. > > Haters gonna hate. Seriously. CCWs are extremely reasonably priced for the quality, service, and customization. I’m not saying everyone should buy them but, geez, if they seem too expensive for you, you might be in the wrong game. > [@\*\*\*\*\*Official: Mighty Meet Thread\*\*\*\*\*](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-mighty-meet-thread/10918/3307): > > I do hate on knockoffs. Cheap wheels suck. I don’t understand why people cheap out on wheels. Shitty wheels and tires are what $1200 or so? You can get a decent set of Voks for like $1800-$2K. Why not just save up the extra money? > > Wheels make the car imo. best post ITT. I watch people spend more on fake wheels while I’m buying real wheels in cool specs for less. It’s funny but I don’t complain because more sick wheels for me. I bought LMs for less than 500 bucks once, Rial Type As for less than $400, RS’s for less than 600, ACS type III for less than 300. I’m not giving exact prices because they might make people a little uneasy:lol > [@OFFICIAL: "Whine about morAns on the road" thread.](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-whine-about-morans-on-the-road-thread/46412/71): > > Old cars suck.

Hit a tree and the car stopped running, didn’t look as good anymore, etc. I buy old wheels all the time, ftw. I also love old cars. Just because a car (or anything for that matter) is old, doesn’t mean it’s a replica. I understand your analogy but it doesn’t hold much ground. > [@FS: '92 Infiniti G20](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-92-infiniti-g20/46387/9): > > Multi-lug pattern…puke in my mouth. > > Instant fail…didn’t look any further. A lot of authentic, quality JDM wheels are multi-lug. Just saying. But 9/10 you’re right it means shit. lol > [@All that is MAN!](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/all-that-is-man/9558/323): > > You do realize by buying shitty parts/wheels etc it actually hurts quality companies. Pretty soon all you will be left with is shit. Half the reason HKS USA is now gone. > > Engineering/Manufacturing costs money. Actually this is the best post ITT. lol I like you. This is the most important reason not to support replica companies. If you can’t respect this than this industry is going to go downhill. If you look at Japan for example. People only support authentic parts because they take pride in it and have respect for what goes into making them. Support those doing it right, not companys copying designs and doing it the cheapest way possible because they know Americans are cheap and would rather fake the funk. > [@IOM G8 GT 888"](#): > > I dont think you can justify the money spent on CCW’s lol. > > Quality - I’ve had a few “cheap” brand of wheels hold up to what New York roads have to offer with absolutely NO problems. > > Appeal or “wow factor”- They dont really wow me, but ofcourse this point of the wheel is purely opinion. > > Function - They’re not some really super light wheels are they? If you don’t get it, you don’t get it. Some food for thought guys. Not trying to dive into the fake vs. real argument, as you can see I argued both points. I will never buy another high end race wheel for a street car again. I also won’t be buying some XXRs so I can pretend to have a Complete Custom Wheel either:lol --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/have-you-ever-wanted-a-set-of-ccw-classics-but-not-multipiece/261166)._
