Default Volk TE37 Fakes

Love the Volk TE37s, however. I don't really need a racing perfomance wheel to add to an aleady popular car to be stolen.

I own a white '00 civic HB, and I want a similar wheel to the volk te37 in white, 16 or 17 inches.

Please do no be confused this is not a where to buy or want to trade thread. I just want ideas. What are some brand and model names that are copies or fakes of the TE37s.

Or an wheel similar to the TE37, 6 spokes etc. Some I've seen are the motegi ff6 or the enkei rs6.

Now I sit and wait for the flaming and class of '04 comments.

I think Motegi makes a wheel that looks like the TE37 but it's not a direct copy and you'd have to get it painted...

If wheels don't have to be exact you can check out Nippon racing wheels. The Vortec II is nice, and light weight. They also make a Type C to replicate SSR. They should run less than $750(way less) this price includes ship to Hawaii. Or my friend has a set of 17" Volk TE37s for sale, but again shipping will be slightly costly.

Looks like the Nippon Formula-1 are actually the TE37 copies, not the type R's.

So i'm thinking the Rota Grids are the deal for me. So how 'bout some advice.

Should a: Rota Grid 16x7, or b: Rota Grid 17x7.5.

Not gonna be a racer or track beast, so please no advice for the 15"s people. Just wanna know is 17x7.5 will rub at all? '00 civic HB, stock.

/\ /\ Stretch's car is beautiful in person. The good thing about the rota grids is that there are only 4 lug holes like the real Volks. The Konig Rated R's and the Nippon's are 8 lug universal and look ugly with all the extra holes.
