Replica Rims?

[Bernardchan96]

Hey, recently been looking for summer rims+tires, ive decided to go with 265/70/17 falken Wildpeak at3/w. Now i was going to buy some TRD rims but they are quite pricey here in Canada, so i saw a local shop here selling TRD REPLICA RIMS+ falken tires DOT 2017/2018 for around 1600Canadian dollars. but was wondering if anyone has heard of a company named FastCo, it looks like a Canadian company wanted to know if anyone has any reviews on them

We all have to make compromises somewhere, but if you are off-roading, you may not want to make a compromise on your wheels.

I'm not a technical person, but I'd wager to bet that the actual TRD wheels are stronger than the replicas. I've seen too many wheels break (track use, but just as we do in off-roading, track racing pushes components to their limits even if the application is a bit different).

I went with Methods for that reason - the assumption is that their race tech filters down to their street wheels. Hopefully that is not a bad assumption to make, but I hope that means Methods are stronger than most of the "knock-off" brands out there on the market. My compromise was not having the desired offset but still paying more than I otherwise would have for the "right look". However, the Methods are at best only as strong as OEM but likely not stronger (but this is just conjecture).

If you are just pavement pounding, then the replicas are probably just fine. I don't think I've heard of wheels breaking on cars or trucks just driving around on the road.

I considered getting a set of replica LFA rims for my Lexus but upon reading reviews I saw several where they cracked after hitting a pot hole, this might only be an issue with low profile tires but I would keep it in mind

Have you checked Ebay or Amazon for the OEM ones? Shipping to Canada may be your only hurdle.
