[QUOTE=Yokotas13;46921]so basically, instead of buying the real wheels you get the knockoffs right?[/QUOTE] AZA is a knock off. Work makes two wheels that are slightly similar: Rezax Universal: [img]http://www.work-wheels.co.jp/wheels/index/rezax/premium/images/index/index_01.jpg[/img] Varianza T1S [img]http://www.work-wheels.co.jp/wheels/index/varianza/t1s/images/view/view13_4.jpg[/img] Rays A/X makes a wheel that may interest you also X603 [img]http://rayswheels.co.jp/datas2/AX/033_603/big.jpg[/img]
Bvillens T8S (weds.co.jp) [IMG]http://www.weds.co.jp/images/products/bvillens/t8s_polich_b.jpg[/IMG] Kranze Borphes (weds.co.jp) - Similar but not the same. [IMG]http://www.weds.co.jp/images/products/kranze/borphes_chrome_b.jpg[/IMG]
when it comes to that style i like these: work varianza f25 [img]http://www.work-wheels.co.jp/wheels/index/varianza/f2s/images/index/index_01.jpg[/img]
I didn't realize the AZA wheels were knockoffs...if that's the case there should be an identical original out there.

Perhaps not an exact knock-off, but close enough that they should never be considered for a VIP car.

These are for sure the ones. I have decided to go with these works. So now comes the fun part. SAVING!

you could also see this website: [url]www.s-2.co.jp[/url] which is the NKB site they have a nice wheel called the elite 8.
auto couture lative.
I dont think that I would necessarily call a wheel a "knock-off" unless it was actually a copy of that wheel. Otherwise you could call any wheel a knock-off of another wheel style. Just my 2 cents though, But not one of the wheels posted where the same on the aza wheel. If aza is a reputable wheel company or not can be debated. I had a set of aza's and they were pretty high quality in my opinion. Like I said though, just my 2 cents.

AZA falls into the same category as Rota or SportMax in my opinion. While the quality of their wheels seems to be improving and they are a few semi-unique designs, overall they offer generic wheels in generic sizing to be able to saturate the market and drive the bottom line.
The difference between AZA and Rota is that almost every single one of Rota's wheels are knockoffs of other wheels.
blackfleet makes similar looking wheels too. blackfleet is a part of Rays wheels.... but they arent listed on their website and i cant find any sites that carry them. there is a pics of them here on a Q45 and on an LS.
here is the Q45/Y33: [url]http://vipstylecars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3261&highlight=blackfleet[/url]
