Bc forged = marked up alibaba Bomiz = marked up alibaba Valvetronic = marked up alibaba Ind distribution = marked up alibaba I can continue. People CLAIM they would never buy from china, or support reps. But theyre in fact buying reps directly from china 🤣. For 2-10x the price.
even big brands have suppliers from alibaba, i have a plan of starting a manufacturing company im china as well, these guys are making some serious bank
I had my eyes on a set of bc forged but scrapped that idea when I saw the price. Now I feel like I’m back in the game. Seriously what is the disadvantage? I thought the caveat would be crappy finish or the wheels being cast. I don’t care if some enthusiast pokes his head at my wheels and says these are reps.
Just ordered my first set of wheels from Alibaba and these wheels usually go for $3.5k. Just got them for $1.3k. No one can tell the difference so who tf cares!!
You got the extra wheels because you get a cheaper price with a bulk buy and MOR ( minimum order requirement) of 5 or 6. I think you did a great job, saving cash cutting outbthe middleman or paying fortunes for the real deal with no discernable difference
The valve is supposed to line up, or almost line up with one of the lug holes on the TE's. One of the easiest ways to narrow it down to see if they are real.
@@Asiankid879 Chinese factory. They contact the factory directly via Wechat etc. Basically those brands like Apex, titan-7 are from the same industrial park so they can just make anything you want with good quality but lower price(ie TE37 with apex sprint price). I plan to order advan GT later.
@@Asiankid879 Chinese factory. They contact via wechat etc. Basically Apex Titan-7 etc are from the same industrial park in China. So you can just let them make any wheel with great quality. They even do the force test for you if you want custom shape. In the end, you can maybe get a great quality TE37 with Apex sprint price or even cheaper, and you won't feel sad if they are damaged. You just order another set.
@@Asiankid879 I will try one last time. Basically they contact by WeChat etc. Then send picture of your design or whatever you want Advan TE like that. If it is a custom design the factory even do a force test for you. Those factories are in the same industrial park of Apex Titan -7 something like that. So you can get a maybe Advan GT with Apex price but same quality as real. To be honest, the Japansese “artisan spirit” term is actually the term of lack massive production ability.
I buy lost of stuff from there because it's all made there and like you said to save a little money. Besides it's the same thing you would get in the store here for twice as much sometimes.
I work for a GM dealer. We sell a lot of wheels. Even the relatively expensive fuel wheels we sell say "made in china" so it's not far off to believe these wheels are safe for every day use. If the $180/wheel set of RSSWs can handle 90 year old Gertrude smacking speed bumps at 60 km/h they can handle normal street use from someone who cares.
We’ve all been guilty of buying off brand things or even clones of name brand. These wheels look amazing and If ppl have an issue then complain to the manufacturer not the consumer lol. Great pick👍🏻
i think its okay to buy off brand things but you gotta be smart with it buying offbrad bumper or cosmetic stuff is fine but things that is under stress or safty items like belts brakes wheels seats or suspension component you should never cheap out on those things.
Great too know that I know it's great to have different sources to buy wheels and buy for a good cost I understand that but I would buy from company's from the USA and not from other countries that is just me but Thank you for sharing this video I have always enjoyed your positive focus on everything you do and want take care of yourself
I would not 6x6 a car but if James did a 6x6 with his Ram TRX and the electric Hummer I think that would be awesome and then he would have a trio of 6x6s
Those look great! I'm just worried about their quality control, I feel like getting the Rota Grid (even the flow forged ver) would be safer since they passed various tests compared to blatant chinese reps
That GTR wrap still looks like a trapper keeper from the 80's but I do dig it. Also if the wheels didn't cost 6k of course we'd all have them so knock offs that are made well for 1500 bucks suit me just fine
I saw Donut Media do a comparison on the quality of different knock off rims vs real ones. The cheap knock offs could be damaged a lot easier than the real ones.
I was interested in that, i like the channel, but the comparison was a bit stupid. I'm not going to run over my on wheels, and i'm not going to jump out of a roof, that these rims were going to fail was a given. Show me how they behave on a pothole or whatever.
@@Flashbang_Photo Fair points!! Donut media is all about entertainment… so they do unrealistic stuff that’s funny but there’s still lessons and good takeaways.

Lord Stefan, has a nice ring to it! You're the best ❤
Already a lord in the kingdom of rodnock errrr rudnik. Double lordship?
Sick! I just bought my “2-piece forged Vossens” for pennies on the dollar!😂🤣 Only Chinese wheels for me from now on my friend!! Lol!
How they lasting?
@@danialebby777 so far so good!
@@frankr4118 Thinking about going this route too, I cant justify 5k for a set of wheels
@@frankr4118 any comparison weight wise to the OG Vossen's?
Which supplier did you order from?
1 are they actually 3 piece? 2 how much was the set, and 3 how long did they take to ship
So what did those cost shipped? I’ve heard the shipping can get gnarly but I’ve been wanting to try it for a bit
did they hold up good? thinking abt getting some rep TEs
Ever get them or heard anything about them? Thinking about doing the same
Mine holding up just fine. Track event and all
You got the extra wheels because you get a cheaper price with a bulk buy and MOR ( minimum order requirement) of 5 or 6.
I think you did a great job, saving cash cutting outbthe middleman or paying fortunes for the real deal with no discernable difference
I wouldn't trust those wheels a failure at speed could be disastrous it would be great to get the quality of the materials tested
they selling these reps for years to hundreds of thousands of people have you heard of failures yet? this is china bias.
There made from the same material as most stock wheels I think they would be fine also this is what people do in China 🤷
hey Stefan thank you for giving me an idea to get a cheap TE37 can I ask what supplier you contacted from alibaba? thank you again
Was having a terrible day ,my favorite tv host got arrested by the secret police of my country
Wait thats cool. So the 3 pce wheels are all custom. You chose a random face/barrel/lip finish?
"TEE HEE" 😂
The valve is supposed to line up, or almost line up with one of the lug holes on the TE's. One of the easiest ways to narrow it down to see if they are real.
gonna have to say that ones a false statement, maybe in a certain iteration of the TE37 but not all.
100% true easiest way to tell
I have a TE37 ultra from japan and the valve does not or almost line up with one of the lug holes
The Lord and legend, Stefan! Bringing the dirty deets on saving a buck or two… 🙌🏼
Cool to see the comparison.
I think they’re a great bang for the buck tbh. I see no difference between them and the real ones
Depends on the factory. Some of my friends just order the high quality version from factory for track day and it’s actually not bad.
What factory did he order from ?

Whats the link to the gtr replica wheels? I tried alibaba but it’s complicated
How much do they weigh compared to the original?
Good question. Wondered that as well
Dear lord stefan lewis, absolutely amazing video
Can you please put the link to the Alibaba TE37s? Hook me up!
How much for the lord thing?

Even better! I will refer to you as that from Now On! 😎🤙🏻
link please i want a set for my R35!!!!
I want to know if alibaba ships to finland🇫🇮
Do they ship in a set or do you have to get 4 different orders to make a set?

hey Stefan, would love to see a pure sound or asmr type video of the rx7 and the corvette, would absolutely love it!
What is the name of the company you ordered the wheels from?
So did they survive?
Thank you!!

how would you feel about buying bumpers or hoods off of this website
What tires sizes did you go with?
Steph... You have a link to the wheel company in China? Looking to snag a set of 37s myself.
hi stefan can you vist your land ?
Share the store bro! I like how you thinking bruh , nice vid 👌 🎉😅
I would honestly buy Chinese 3 piece wheels if they’re that good, I don’t have the cash for real stuff tbh.
Which seller did you use? Ordering from them? Makes me nervous.
You got bigger balls then I do trusting counterfeit wheels.
Im with it them corvette wheels are on point
i always get reps...reps of everything is SO SPOT ON nowadays...not like back then...fake was waaaay off.
Do you have the link for the bronze te37s?
Lord Stefan. I like the sound of that
Link to the 2pc wheels?
A lot of the factories that make the real wheels make these “fake” ones too
Stephan *starts outro* Me out loud " Wait im not done eating!! " xD
First comment and first view love your videos I watch your every video when you post I love your videos you make my day better by posting
Could you list the seller?
The wheels on the vette look hella amazing. Would love to get a set for my car!
I wonder if anyone changed their name and did this to become Lord Vader.
ALL HALE LORD STEPHAN LEWIS
I always get an extra wheel as well,I like to have spares.
Somebody please tell me the name of the song during the ending of the videos

I’m getting Neistat vibes from this video.. nice!
Back in the day I had te-37 reps on my b18 swapped crx. It’s fine as long as you don’t claim them to be real.
Dude this was a dope video!
What is the different in weight?
I had a history teacher who did this. He would only respond to students if he was referred to as Lord __
How much did you get the te 37s
Smash! the hate towards "made in china" today is just stupid :) Love the wheels!
so i can have rep te’s and replace them multiple times over before it amounts to the price of real ones
Good and awesome video like all time lord Stefan
I saw the rx7 Saturday it was nice meeting you too
bro really said smash or pass on some wheels 💀💀🫃🏾

Durability test?
It's not foreshadowing if you don't do it. It's teasing, at worst, lying. But what would it prove?
I xant believe how real these look
I think you should call the TE’s the wheatie 37s
I'm looking at some rucci, and forgiauto
Hi Stefan remember the guy that said he's going to leave their cars to
I can’t find them
lord stefan share the link for them wheels. hehe tehe
at first i thought he meant the whole car was fake, not the rims
you need some genome g roots in that collection
Since you don’t know what to call the corvette wheels, you get to name them!
