I've never seen replicas. Many companies make different forged wheels though. I can't name them since they are not sponser. Look up FORGED WHEELS on google

Just save up little by little and try to find some used ones once you have the change. Once you buy them used they probably won't depreciate much more so you can always sell them later.

Get yourself what you really want! Not a cheap replacement

The Ruff 278's are the closest I can think of as well. Just looked at those LG's and the LG's^^^ look almost identical.

I hear ya. But white LT1 WS6's are rare! I haven't ever even seen one in person. And if you buy them used, you can usually turn them for what you had in them.

I just look at it like this: When I wanted to get a new set of TT2's with some tires that aren't Sumitomo it was like ~$1500. If you want some Ruff wheel its going to be similar.
I really wanted some Fikse's but they were all out of my price range so I thought, but I found some for ~$1700 and jumped on it. It just took a little longer to save up for some decent tires. And it I sell the car I can always sell the wheels and get my money back.

Just had to wait until January to get wheels instead of getting them last summer. But its worth it.

It sucked shelling out the money for some wheels, but now everytime I look at it I'm satisfied instead of feeling that if I had saved a liiiitle more I could have them by now.

Unless you are doing 17x11 in the rear, definetely go with 18s all around...17s look too small otherwise, and have too much damn sidewall
