Anyone know of wheels like MAE rivers or crown jewels.

[Ross08]

I love the MAE wheels but theyre so expensive and i cant afford. I know keskin has similiar wheels also. but i was wondering if anyone knows of anything that is another look alike and if theyre are reps of these wheels?

[OptimusGlen]

[DasHammer]

[Ross08]

$1400 is not that bad for real MAE's
I would avoid knockoffs though, they tend to not handle bumps and whatnots as well as the real ones.

[Ross08]

true that but i ride low and slow... and i have flik arctics not expensive wheels and they take bumps like a champ. just depends how your drive them/ but ya im in college and only have 1500 bucks and i still need to get maitnence stuff for my car

Just save up a bit more - or , play the trade game. Unfortunately your wheels arent worth more than 400 in the market, but maybe someone will trade you some BBS RCs for them, then clean those up, refinish if necessary, and trade up again (maybe +200), after 6-8 months you could end up with those MAEs for <500 out of your pocket.


I went from HP Evos to one off Cargraphic 5x100 wheels for <450$ doing this over 1.5 years.

Ah to be in college...

[Subwoofers]

Spending all the money you have on wheels to the point where you will become broke.

OH WOW>

You won't be able to find too many reps or "knockoffs" of these kinds of wheels. I do know that MAE do make a monoblock version of those wheels, but they are hard to find. I've only know of one set and my buddy just bought them.

I have the ones that Work makes, the Euroline Type-N's and I love them. Here's a pic just for reference of the wheels I am talking about:

This was when I first bought them and put them on:


I have since now lowered the front coils. and this is how my car sits with these wheels:


And crappy cellphone pic lol:



Like others have said, just gotta keep looking around but you'll be definitely spending over $1000 for a set of these wheels used. Good luck man!

thanks man and car looks awesome love those wheels. Ya im just trying to move up in the wheel game.

[LPhiE]

Thanks.

I started out the same way man in the wheel game lol. I had stock huffs, then powdercoated them all nice and pretty so I could sell them. Then took that money and bought some AMG wheels for cheap, refinished them and then traded them for the Works I now have. Just gotta be patient, which is the hardest part!

Now, I wonder what wheels to get next....

[Ross08]

[LPhiE]

Yes, those are pretty sweet.

[patrikman]

I hate to be that guy, but those wheels look horrible on a mkV.

[B3passatBMX]

I hate to be that guy, but those wheels look horrible on a mkV.

I agree. To me they honestly look like cheap bling wheels you'd buy from a corner rim shop. Not taking away from the wheels, but IMO they just don't work on that car.

[Pennywise]

Oh emkayfour, you never disappoint.

lol what?

If this is the OP's car:



He almost drove my mother off the interstate a couple months ago. I was trailing a few cars behind her, this **** came up weaving through traffic, nearly sideswiped an SUV, and merged into my mother's lane directly beside her, forcing her onto the shoulder.

Ross08, I hope that when you go to buy wheels, the seller holds you at gunpoint, takes all your money, and steals your car. You don't deserve any of it.

[patrikman]

lol what?

You kids and your desire to be different just like everybody else. It's all really mundane and laughable.

By the way, those wheels won't look good on anything other than a 1990s sedan for the most part. The design doesn't compliment a late model econobox at all.

The chrome matches well with the Tornado Red color though.

To each their own and I am only doing what I like. Other people and what they do is not my business.

They look a lot better in person and I like them and full faced wheels in general, but I plan on taking the chrome (which is the original chrome, so for 15 year old wheels, they have held up great lol) off the faces and refinishing them. Haven't decided between polished or silver, or brushed metal finish, but it will have to wait until after the wedding is paid and done for.

Some things are just more important then my car and how it looks.

Is the link to the Mark IV section somehow redirecting to TCL?

Oh yeah... Definitely you. Right timeframe, too.

Lemme guess... You're a teen, this is the first "fast" car you've owned, so you've gotta drive it flat out or lock 'em up everywhere, at the expense of the safety of other drivers?
