Default who makes a knockoff for this wheel?

Who makes a knockoff that looks like a work nezart spoke 2?

I am looking for a 15" wheel that looks just like this. I want the wheel to be 4x100 only ( I don't like the look of 8 holes around the hub that a lot of knockoffs have )

Or I am gonna go with a 15" axis mag lite, but would still need where to actually purchase these wheels




I like the black wheel look on a white car only if there is a good sized lip like the nezart.... If I get the axis, I think I would run the sliver since I've never seen silver on a xb before... always see the graphite... anyone that can help?

I was looking at Rota but I hate how almost all the wheels have 8 holes near the hub... was hoping to find a knockoff that had 4x100 only with no other holes...

Why a knockoff you ask, well the nezarts are $250 each which isn't crazy expensive but for the way my xb is used... ( wife already removed all the paint off the front lip pulling into a driveway, even though I've told her for years with other cars that you can't come flying in straight on and not expect it to hit and scrape... ) ...I don't feel like watching a $250 wheel get curb'd the first two weeks of having them like my front lip/bumper.

I like the 15" axis mag lite as well, it has the 4x100 only pattern and should be close to $100 a wheel if I find a good deal.... the axis does not have the black look with the polished lip but I like the price and light weight of it and don't think they look bad.

I would think the axis would look a little better than Rota Auto X..and I actually like the way this xb looks on 15" Rota Auto X... I was reading his profile and he got different wheels now...it is funny.... I like the Auto X's better than what he has now.





It looks like I will get either the Rota Flight, Rota Auto X, or Axis mag lite... gonna get 15" and use stock tires ( just like the pic above )...

I have Rota Slipstreams. They are close.

They do have eight holes, but they are not for two different sizes. Half of them are oval and are non functional.

Gunmetal. They look exceptionally light in that picture, but generally appear much darker.

Yeah, I found those d2's but I don't think they make them in 15" and I am NOT a big fan of the fake allen bolts or whatever those are... it is a nice looking wheel though..

I also noticed theRota gt3's... simple and inexpensive... something to have so I don't have to run the wheelcovers or the beauty rings was all I was after... thanks for the help.
