Replica TRD 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

I was also curious about Replika rims, and started this thread in the 5th Gen section:

Alternative to 5th Gen TRD Pro Wheels - Replika Wheels?

I decided to go a different route, and stay OEM and go with rims from a TRD Off-Road.

Just put winter tires on those(blizzak dm-v2 stock size), they look a bit bigger than my original gunmetal trd rims, technician said they balance fine and should fit no problem.

These rims typically sell for 40-50$ a pop from the Chinese factories. Quality can vary. You're taking a risk buying these. They could be great or they could be crap and/or dangerous depending on the manufacturing.

I used to work for a company that dealt directly with the Chinese factories.

Just to make sure i'm understanding correctly... youre saying the 17" factory trd wheel replicas are around $1200 usd for you ???

I just bought a TRD wheel set for my 03 4runner online for 950 bucks shipped for 4 new wheels... which now that I look I wish I had the ebay option available at the time of purchase because you can have a set for $800...

if thats really the case, message the sellers on ebay from the US and see if you can cover the additional shipment to Canada maybe? Would that not be an option? I have run replica wheels (non offroad but still) on my 3 other cars before (including a 95 supra) and they are affordable but yes, quality is questionable. I cracked 1 of them when I hit a pothole. So if it is to save some money vs an actual wheel I can't recommend against it... but if you're paying more for a replica wheel than what you could possibly source from the states for same price/or cheaper for an actual wheel than I just couldn't justify it

That doesn’t mean the wheels are made in Canada

Can you tell a difference between Canadian made and Chinese? I bet you can't.
It seems like Tacoma guys running them without any problems.
