r/t tt 18"-ers

[vectorspecialist]

i know the 2nd gen 18 inch chrome wheels for the tt are kinda rare. other than 3sx are there any other companies where i can find a set.

i figure dealers would have em, but no mitsu dealers near me...seriously 2hrs away for the closest one...in charlotte, bout 20mins from 3sx...

there are supposedly high quality knock offs on ebay.

[vectorspecialist]

eh nockoffs tend to be the same design but with a different companies logo or blank centers, i want the emblem for the car, oem looking down to every lil detail...as for ebay, i dont trust em with expensive car things, sure shifter boot for 20 bucks for the stealth, cool that works, and it is great. wheels, eh rather see em in person

[jd-autotech]

some times you just get the emblems and make them fit nice or cheap rims and good center caps is another cheap ass trick

They get rave reviews on 3si.

The company that sells the stealth 18" replicas is a quality, trusted company. A friend of mine does quite a bit of business with them, and the wheels are actually slightly better quality than OEM... most notably the chroming process.

Get them off e-bay, then buy OEM centercaps. no one will ever know the difference.


If you go through the dealer... you'll be paying close to $750 PER WHEEL... if you can even find a set. through the replica company, they're about $750 for a full set of 4.

you can buy directly through their website, and circumvent e-bay. If you call them, the'll probably give you a better price than on e-bay.

yup, that's the company. I've heard nothing but 100% satisfaction from friends that bought from them.

Man a few years ago I looked and looked for replicas, and there were none at the time, only the 6 spoke ones were replicas.
So I bought mine from the dealership for 900 each. They only had 6 left in the warehouse they said.
Now we have all sorts of options lol.
damnit....

[vectorspecialist]

i have found many many times, just be patient with these cars, for that matter most cars. look a lot before finally buying. dont just buy b/c you think it's your only option.

[Zeiss]

Yeah, but at the time there werent any other options. 3sx didnt have them and replicas werent available for the 5 spokes.

[vectorspecialist]

ahh, and now 3sx has em, and aftermarket companies have em...don't u feel like shit...joking. i could imagine. i have that fear with the new lights for my 944, i'll spend 480 bucks for a projector kit, and in two years i garuntee i'll b abkle to get em for less from a different company
