Not sure. They custom make them. Probably the same diameter as stock only in 22's or 24's

In that pic are those Rotiforms or VIP Modulars? How can you get those for $2-$2.5K? The normal price is like triple that amount. I'd buy them right now if that was the case... How could you get any custom wheel for that price? I don't know of any multi-piece wheel in 22" near that price other than maybe Forgestar.

So are they multipiece? Or just the look? Because in the pics, those are multipiece wheels. If you could get wheels like that for $2500, I think there would be a line out the door.
 
The rim looks awesome! if you need new rubber anyway...your already halfway there in price. I would def get those rims.

I will be looking for rims soon...can't wait.

Ok I called and I forgot to ask about the modular looking wheels. I asked about some other wheels and the price is 2600. Ill call again tomorrow for the modular wheels. Thats not bad at all for the wheels. Should be around 3200 for everything. I have a connect with tires so ill get a better deal on the tires.

I think I may have stumbled across this place online. The prices still seem too good to be true, but they seem legit. I'm very curious as to how your wheels turn out if you get them. This solution is literally less than half the cost of wheels I was looking to have built.
 
KNockoff wheels are knockoff wheels - sometimes it's more than just branding. Beware
 
There are no 3 piece knockoff wheels that are actually 3 piece. If this company is making multi-piece wheels, they're making the real deal. It's not Varrstoen, XXR, Rota, etc. which are one piece wheels posing as 3 piece. Most 3 piece wheels are made by a few manufacturers and then rebranded. So if this is the place I'm thinking of, then they are an actual manufacturer. If it's not, no big deal. I'd much rather pay ~$3K for multipiece wheels with no name than $8K for ADV.1 which are basically the same thing since ADV.1 does zero manufacturing.

I would normally agree with you, but you cant make a knockoff 3 piece. its still a 3 piece no matter what. most name brands have ZERO manufacturing.
they all have a machine shop who makes them.
heres the link http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/pts/4016326385.html


I want the ones on the 5th picture bottom right
