Anyone see my works engineering wheels?

I refuse to use the term 'fake', ƒü¢k me ssr's are like the 6th generation copy of that design which mine are similar too.

And those things are cheap and STRONG as. In my thread is photos of them after they hit a gutter so hard they ended under the engine and they are still roadworthy!

I'm with dann on this.

There is cheap and there is expensive.

Meisters and Proffessors are identical.

Etc etc etc, all wheel companies rip each others designs.

If you're hardparking the car at the cafe on weekends you don't need forged wheels.

Saying that buying cheaper wheels rips off the original manufacturer is akin to saying piracy downloads ruin movie companies. Sure some sales are lost, but the majority of transactions wouldn't have been sales originally as they are different market segments to begin with.

On topic, a number of shocks from Shox.com have free shipping atm, including koni adjustables.

Any recommendations for a spring to suit? Looking to lower the car to about 100-120mm ride height ? Unless that is too far, don't really know the rule of thumb with mx5s.

Cheers.
