Doesn't matter. Just wanted to confirm if they were real or not. I like the way it looks now than when it was on the xxr.d

Definately look like the real ones.



Do they have this on the inside of the spokes?

They appear to be on a car with "real" tires on them. They don't appear to be made out of cardboard for display purposes. They look to be functional.

Based on those pictures and assumptions made from those pictures, they seem to be "real."

To respond to your first comment, I did answer. My answer to your query? What's the purpose of this thread? Who cares if a wheel is "fake" or real? First off, if it can be mounted on a car and used to get the car around, it is definitely not "fake."

With averaging about 100 posts per year, I was hoping to stay under the radar of people finding out I was here only for attention. You broke my cover.

Look I am not trying to pick a fight here but you asked who cares and my guess would be him hence the reason for the thread. I understand what you mean about real or fake but if you paid real money for fake parts I am sure you wouldn't be happy. Hey it's no big deal.

I'm with you, my friend, on the not wanting to e-fight. Just a small pet peeve when people use the term fake instead of say knock-off or replica. Two totally different meanings. And that ties in with my not understanding why people nit pick about replica versus the "real deal," you know? To me, if it looks good, it looks good, I don't care who makes it.

But I can understand not wanting to pay original prices for replica parts.
