Help me find Style 313 replica alloys

v24mis · 10-04-2009, 04:57 PM

hey guys,

I wanna change my 225s to 313s or 225 replica alloys as ive seen and heard some bad things about the 225s cracking. do not want this to happen to me!

I am thinking that the replicas will be made out of stronger aluminum, or am i wrong?

anyway I would prefer the 313 style, but i think they are performance style upgrades and don't think anyone is making replicas yet so wouldnt mind setting for 225 style reps!

thanks

You'd be better off ditching your runflats if that's your worry.

I love the 313 and nearly bought a set myself, only thing that put me off was that you could see the standard crappy brakes even more so.

I think Phils point is that the hard sidewalls of RFTs exacerbate the transmission of road shocks to the rims - leading to cracking. Non-RFTs will be easier on the rims. I'd agree its worth a try.

I also want to find a copy of the 313s or copy of the Advan T5s (similar to 313s)

So far the only thing ive found similar is a copy of the R8 wheels that they have on Audi/VW forums. They dont make 5x120 but maybe if there was interest they could make a few?

Has anyone else found anything else? Im hoping to find 18"s
