Default knock off wheels

This may sound odd, but is there anyone out there riding knock off spokes? I love the idea of mixing old school style with such a wild looking car.

Thanks to all.

They would have to be dayton. I think a set of chrome hundred spokes would look pretty good.

I like the seats but I think all the carpet on the dash and steering wheel is a little much. Im not a big fan of it even in a true lowrider.

Good advice... ask yourself if you can really afford cheap wheels?

I like to race at various driving events with my Z06. I know two Z06 owners who had problems with repro wheels.
One problem occured at the track when the laps were over, the driver noticed two majors cracks in the wheel just above the hub.
The other one had his wheel crack while driving home from work. He did use his car for driving events and must not have noticed the wheel was cracked. He almost wrecked his car when the wheel gave way and it caused some serious damage to his car.

Make sure you buy wheels that are up to the task and the standards of the manufacturer....

It puts a new twist on the classic bombs from the 30's and 40's.

and i was goin to go wit knock offs but im goin to go with some wire wheels or spinners because i do like speed but i still wanna keep my roots in the lowrider movement since im a big enthusiast an and mostly around the scene but in all the box is sweet but yeah the dash covered in velvet kinda throws it off but its a good look an it does display that bomb look an its got bag's which looks like hydros from the back an those colored rims are tight which makes it an eye catcher = eyekandi

Are Daytons exempt from the high maintenance or do all wire wheels need constant attention? I'd really like to put some Daytons on my box
