For all you period correct coupe owners with SILVIA rear badges, I have a little tidbit of information...

S13 Silvia's of all colors produced from 05/88 to 12/90 received the standard SILVER emblem.
Part#: 99099-35F01

From 01/91 to 10/91 colors: Midnight Blue, Silver-green and Charcoal Metallic, received another SILVER emblem (could possibly be the same as above).
Part#: 99099-52F07

From 01/91+ colors: Juniper Green, Super Black, Ivory White, Aspen White Pearl, and Champagne Gold (#EM1), received the GOLD emblem.
Part#: 99099-52F08

Now again from 01/91+ colors: Aztec Red, Sandstone Beige, and Misty Blue, received another emblem (not sure on the color).
Part#: 99099-52F09

^That was before I had a grill. GTR grill is now on it. No "professional" pictures taken yet. Will update when I get some.

& yes, they are replicas. But I can assure you that you will never find any size/offset the same ones I have in the U.S. No, they're NOT Rota Grids. Specs are 18x9.5 +18.

If they are rep's why don't you take the stickers off so you don't look like an idiot

Sorry but none of that justifies rocking Volk stickers on reps. Car is aiight though. And please don't say "they were on the wheels when I got them" I hate that excuse.

So what's your point? Your reps are "rarer" than others?

Haters are goin' to hate. I could honestly care less about what you guys say. But to each their own. I will eventually have real wheels but for now these will do. I don't see the point (YET) in spending around 2-3k on wheels when I've already screwed these wheels up. Two front wheels rubbed on sway bar cause of drop knuckles at drift events. Driver side rear got messed up because a drunk lady hit me. Got around $1,400 for that (body damage) and spent it on my Silvia stuff, and $150 stage 1 paint.

I spend my money wisely and last thing I want would be real wheels. But at an age of how old I am right now, I don't have enough funds to buy baller wheels.

You would be surprised at how much work was done to this car in the past four years of me owning it (when I was 15). And each and every work was done by me. To custom drop knuckles, Z32 rear uprights custom coilover bracket, full engine bay wire tuck, etc. was all done by me and no one else except with the help of my friends. This car hasn't seen any shop except wheel alignments.

Anyway, like I said, mostly all of the people in the car scene and meets would know right away that these are fake. And like I said, I could care less about what people think.

They are Rota. However they're NOT Rota Grids. They're Rota IK-R's I got custom ordered when I was back in P.I. for no additional cost.
I don't even know if you could find 18x9.5 IK-R's here...

Double post

[Wanabe]

No one cares what your priorities are. It's just not cool to buy something that is a blatant ripoff of something and package it as the real version. If you like having rota's make some rota stickers that look the same or something.

Honestly dude everyone is just looking out for your best interest. It makes you look bad. If you really don't care what we think then why would you type a whole paragraph defending your self.

[gbaby2089]

Yeah seriously, just take the stickers off. The wheels will still be lame but at least you're car will be slightly less so.

They're 18 x 9 + 22 front, 18 x 10 +35 rear, but I also have 5mm spacers all around. Front camber is like -3, rear is like -2.5 or something

[zooopreme]

You guys care way too much about a car that doesn't belong to any of you. I don't condone putting legit brand stickers on fake wheels but you guys are talking to the guy like he's your boyfriend.

[dorkidori_s13]

completely clean s13 coupe with fake wheels that looks better than 90% of the 240s out there > ALL OF YOUR OPINIONS!!!

until all of you bitching have built a car as clean and nicely put together as his, you really cant say much.

RULES:

[KiLLeR2001]

Fake wheels go well with fake two-tones, not real two-tones.

StaticMotion Replicas. Teehee!

[Hoffman5982]

I don't think anyone was really knocking your choice of fake wheels. It was clearly about the stickers, which you completely avoided in your excuse making. Car looks bad ass, but I agree that putting those stickers on reps is stupid. You don't see me putting SSR stickers on my SSM's

[joshchewuhh]

fake wheels with real stickers is lame

real wheels with fake stickers is the way to go

mirrors coming soon. aswell as paint lol. been saying it for months but its going to happen this month. :P
