REV wheels

I was looking at replacing my wheels with TTII or aftermarket IROC. I came across REV Classics and Ridler 675 which appear to be a TTII knockoff. REV also makes an IROC Replica. The website I found says they are licensed by American Racing so my question is are REV or Ridler any good?

1st is REV
2nd is Ridler

Re: REV wheels

the ridler looks sweet, as long as theres no chrome to flake off i think you will be good. I never buy chrome wheels again.

Re: REV wheels

Both wheels are polished I am just wondering about the quality and fitment of each.

Re: REV wheels

i'll take pics when they come in..

the lady on the phone was extremely nice, they are in Ohio, but they have a wherehouse in CA where these will ship from. And yes, i confirmed, these are licsensed by American Racing as a "cost alternative" since their other wheels like Torq Thrust's are technically a 2 piece wheel then welded.

if anyone wants to know where to get them, PM me and i will tell you since I cant post it, being a non-sponsor and all.
