Default knockoff suggestion

Anyone know of a knockoff rim to these:

I've seen it before, just can put my finger on the brand.

Thanks for the help

Tony

Almost every rim is knockoff nowadays and the difference is only what you think it is.
XXR is all knockoff, Rota, Axis, Etc...
Some of these rims aren't cheap they just aren't as much. There are plenty of knockoff nikes and mcdonalds and some are actually better, in some peoples opinions.

So while you might have a cocky point, at the same time we all love to save money. That's why you go to Mcdonalds.


So let me restate the word "knockoff" and say "alternative". Now let's be happy.

Thanks STAYLURKN btw..

It was sarcastic... I don't support parts like this, it takes away from the engineering time and money invested by the REAL manufacturers/designers. I'm a small business owner so that affects my views on subjects like this plus I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for.

I would do 521 allday but the +35 offset will make it poke. I'd do it if I was on air, but on springs it looks funky. Has to be slammed imo

I think a lot of people get butt hurt about knock offs/replicas because THEY spent a ton of cash on their wheels. Then someone else spends a fraction of a cost on their wheels and their car looks just as nice!

I could care less about getting "respect" because I wasted a ton of money on a wheel so I can brag on the internet about my "works." Now if I absolutely HAD to have a wheel and the only way to get it was to pay the big $, then I would. But I guess my taste is satisfied with 90% of the "knockoff" wheels out there! I'm probably going with 521's too. Not available yet.
