Default 17" Gab or Works knockoffs....who makes them.

As much as I want the real deal I just cannot afford it at this time so does anyone know a company that make knock offs for these two wheels. I need it 17x7.5 and Rota does not make them in 17's. Offset in 45 or so to fit a 99 Prelude would help too. Pics would be great too......REMEMBER knock offs must be available in 17's.

Thanks in advance.

Gab Sport wheel


Works RSZ

Drag makes them in 17's now, but I'm not sure if they're released yet. Should look nice

Yeah I posted this up in the wheel and tire forum but nobody goes there and only got 1 reply. Trust me I've checked all the major sites that sells wheels and nobody so far has them. I did see a wheel that was a knock off of the RSZ in 17's but the center of the wheels were ugly.

I know but just can't save enough money plus my car is DD and would drive me crazy just thinking that it could get scratched up or jacked...

I could be wrong but as far as I know they didn't make 17" in the real version of either wheel. So there will be none in the fake version.

actually the Works RSZ did came in 17's but these knockoffs come in all size and colors....for some reason just not 17's.

I just checked the drap wheels and they do make the knockoff of the Gab wheels in 17's....but not sure if they are release yet. I'd prefer the RSZ knockoff though.

if you must have knockoffs and 17s, i think the rota D2s will be a good choice.

I would rather spend the extra $$$ I saved buying knock-offs making my car go fast instead of making it look like it can go fast...

LOL I don't want this to turn into a internet war LOL.

Anyone would prefer the real deal but with money issue and a true daily driven car I just can't justify spending 2 grand on a nice set with tires.
