When do the new wheels drop from A Nokia wheels? I'm interested in the Kano's and the Split Three Spokes that were featured in this video, but they still haven't been put up on the website which only has the original Artisa lineup.
Oh, and the 19 inch Titan is exciting too.
I really like this guy
The fact that he said he's very opinionated and pretty much showed it in the video. This man must be protected at all cost and he's a perfect choice for this series.
👏👏👏 I will protect him with my body. -Edgar
Remember guys, "real" wheels won't make up for garbage driving. Smack a curb at 50-65 mph, most wheels will fail regardless of brand. If you're doing a lot of drifting or road course racing, wheels will eventually become a consumable item so that cost is multiplied and recurring. Get what works best for your situation and skill level. If you haven't moved out the novice run group yet, TE37Ls won't help you do that. Use that money on tires and more seat time. Also, if you're wanting to support some of the OG companies (which is awesome to see happen), please buy new! They get absolutely nothing from secondhand/used wheel sales.
🤝🤝🤝 thank you for this insight! -Edgar
Bump!!!!
Indeed! To add to that with a possibly unpopular opinion:
If you can afford it and want to "save the manuals," buy such cars new. Use your money to show stockholders what you want and why they should care.
This could also apply to EVs, as I've heard that some companies are researching how best to implement a manual transmission in an electric vehicle.
Rep wheels are ass

When he talked about new wheel companies with new designs and the stage belmont popped up. Made me happy made me smile, running some on my acura TL and they look amazing, all of stages wheels out right now are so clean and so affordable

Stage gang!
Gotta say, pretty good for a first video. I see a lot of potential and look forward to more videos in this series! Keep it up!
🙏💪🏼❤️
Was looking forward to this, because recently I’ve been looking forward for a wheel in your website. Unfortunately you guys don’t have it, so I think I should feel out the blanks for help as soon as I do more research on the right fitment for my car. But this is one thing I found to be underrated at some level: the lack of white finish wheels. They are sexy (depending which ones and on which car) and somehow allows the performance calipers be somewhat more noticeable, I just love that contrast.
Until you gotta constantly wipe the brake dust off em
@@stevebuscemi3622 I constantly go to carwash anyways. I have membership for cheap. :)

I ran a set of white work CR kai and it was great for like the first year or so then it got old real quick and kinda gave up trying to keep them clean all the time.
Welcome to the show! Excited to see what else you've got👊
I’m glad I went for reps. My front wheel scrapes don’t hurt as much 💀
You’re getting the use out of them! -Edgar
I LOVE THIS REVIEW, we needed this
Found you guys like 2months ago and just ordered my wheels and tires package today .
Ayooo! What wheels did you go with homie?! Thanks for the support! -Edgar
Hey Sam! Great first video and way of presentation 🤙🏼
Thank ya'll for welcoming him in! -Edgar
Love this dude 👌🏼
Ayee Sam! Great first video, and love the pokemon analogy🔥🤙
He is a man of culture. 💪 Cant wait to see him flourish! -Edgar
Just wondering why Motegi is never mentioned except for the one video explaining its history. It's a dam good, very underrated wheel. For example, the Motegi MR131's that I got from you guys look good, are flow formed, my 17x8 weigh just about 17.5 pounds, and are extremely affordable. At just under $900.00 for the set delivered to my front door, you just can't go wrong. Gonna purchase a 2nd set. But back to my original question. Why do you guys never really mention Motegi? Just curious.
Motegi is a great brand! We might not have a lot of videos on them but we do post them to our FB and IG! 🙏
Remember Motegi mr7's? I remember back in 2001/2002 everyone had to have MR7's. Typically in white. Those were the days, miss those years circa 1999-2005.
@@vermontvermont9292 I miss those days also. Boy car culture has changed.
Great video guys, keep up the good work.
Thanks homie! 🙏 appreciate it. -Edgar
This dude made me feel like hes always been in the videos. Good Job!
🙏🙏🙏
Great new dude honestly can’t wait to keep seeing him pop up 👍🏼
Glad all ya'll approve of Sam! 🤝🤝 -Edgar
thank you for explaining
Sam does pretty dang well I would say! -Edgar
Good vid Sam! Looking forward to more
solid video, but I do wish you would discuss which rep brands you work with (aodhan?)
This man's been on the garage channel for like weeks now and had to get in the big spotlight for us to know his name. 🤣
Just kidding my guy. Great first video on the big show 👍👊
It was time to make him shine! 🌟🌟🌟 thanks for making him feel welcomed! -Edgar
I love this guy, i want more of this guy please
💪💪💪 we will be getting more! -Edgar
Great timing on this vid guys! After an accidental link click I found myself scrolling through pages of rims I'm sure were not really made by who eneki.. had me thinking.. thinking twice.. now I'll know if I should take another look.. or buy off a reputable site like.... idk... fitment?
fitmentindustries.com!
We're here for it! 🤠 -Edgar
running te37 reps on the old ek that is dang near bone stock. makes the most sense to me.
Nice to meet you, definitely a perfect fit
First video, and a really good video keep it up Sam
🤘🤘🤘
people to constantly clown reps a lot of times don't own their car, or a house etc etc.. and really just look for scene points. If you don't like reps that's cool and have "real" wheels that's cool too but thinking you are better than someone else just because the brand of wheels is corny. I've seen reps that look good on nice cars and "real" wheel on clapped out cars. A clean build is a clean build. Most of the cars these wheels are going on are meet/show cars and modded daily drivers. If your wheels cost more than your cars or having the top brands just to hard park is your thing its like you are doing it just to impress others. I could care less if you have reps but the only time its a little weird if the build is completely higher end/performance and then the wheels are reps. But I wouldn't clown someone either. Who knows could be placeholder. A lot of people who build tuner cars aren't balling as much as they act like they are.
This is exactly what I was gonna say but I didn’t wanna type it all out. Some people just need to be humbled
Sam great communication on the topic, it's great to get that information out there, love fitment industries and everyone,I hope I get a like from you guys♦️👍♦️
Hell yeah homie! -Edgar
Awesome video. Sam I love your videos already. I look forward to more of your videos.
There will be plenty more 🤙
bro spoke real facts that I believe as well
Don't you just love when people call your genuine wheels reps.
Young guys nowadays have never heard of compomotive and keep thinking my flat face mo5s are fifteen52s 😅
I’d like to see a video going over doing custom three piece wheels using stock wheels. They seem to be growing in popularity albeit they are still a very niche market.
HUGE potential there and I’ve seen a couple pages/IG channels that are well known this would be cool for sure to go over! -Edgar
Yeah. Just not sure about the strength of them. I’ve seen a set of three piece Z31 wheels though and they look amazing! You could guys could get a lathe and mill and get a slice of that pie 😎
Real wheels can still get curbed, rock chipped, bent, or even stolen like any other wheel you put on your car, so if you're strictly using the car as a daily, it doesn't always make sense to throw $4,000 on a set of real wheels since you're not using them to its fullest potential anyway. That said, I'm personally not a fan of supporting rep companies so I normally gravitate towards other brands that offer quality wheels with original designs while keeping the prices reasonable: Enkei, Konig, OZ, Gram Lights, etc.
Yeah i was gonna say it doesnt take a huge budget to have nice wheels from a reputable company at all like i can find sets of wheels for under 2k from some dealers of the lower end og companies all day in "daily driver" specs. I think people just get into cars with little money and think oh ima throw a 800 dollar set of fuckin jresrko 017773 wheels. Like its cool n all but i just would rather have sum wheels with heritage and history backing the name on any whip im building
Some “reps” are definitely quality wheels that will hold up just as well
This dude has a chill vibe and it’s nice vs someone yelling into your face 😂
Everyone gets the best of both worlds! 😂 -Edgar

there's no way this is this guy first vid. got talent & good content. SUB

Checking in from Jamaica today, what wheels does our boy Edgar run on his '03 S8?
Currently im running Anovia Elders, so our signature brand! I'll be changing it up pretty soon here. Thank you for asking!🙂 -Edgar

Damn i was looking forward to one last ink bubble pop effect before the video ended. not overused at all lol
Blitz01! This is a man of culture!! I wonder if his SSR reps are the Riverside Mae's🤔?
He is cultured for sure. I’m not sure! I can find out and ask. -Edgar
I've got a set of Rotas on my Del Sol, been told they are reps. I paid $150 for them and like them over the stock rims. I'll keep em until I can afford something else. I'm good with reps. I've got 3 kids and am building two cars right now on top of the 3 go karts and 7 mini bikes.
Impressive first video Sam. 👍
He came out swinging! -Edgar
I’m bought reps for my daily don’t come for me🤣 appreciate you guys as a company aswell for helpin me out getting my wheels sent ASAP Shout-out to Nickson, and David from F.I.
Ayee, glad we can help homie! 🤘 -Edgar
Great Job ✌️ SOUTH AFRICA
Ayeee welcome! -Edgar
Nice information!
Based on how the pitch of his voice flows in each sentence, it sounded like Sam was reading from a script. They did seem to improve as the video progressed. I'm sure that they'll get better with more experience. Besides, the pitch thing I mentioned is pretty common in a lot of videos and presentations.
Welcome, Sam! Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the feedback! 🙏
I like this dude. Keep him around.
Sam is the 🐐
Thinking of getting some of those purple Anovia Nights for my sliver 350z roadster
Definitely should! 🙏
@@FitmentIndustries actually just watch the video of your new Kano and Treble in chrome! OOOhhh ffffffff. I NEED THOSE.. holding out for the Treble in Chrome.
Are the avid1 a good brand if you sell them on your site. Volk te37 are just not in the budget right now
Yes they are!
I find it odd that OE Reps aren't mentioned because there are companies making HQ, sometimes better than OE, reps of OE wheels often in non-OE sizes. That said I DO see this more with US OE brands, often classics, than JDM or Euro sport.
I was gonna pick up si reps for my teggy but I found some enkei reps i don’t know which ones to get
Any word on Replika wheels (from Canada)?
Well, all true, yet I rock some 551 16x8 XXRs on my miata, hahaha, had them in my sicon xb and I hit a concrete wall, Damm wheels never bent! I had them for over 8 years, I just painted them white and they're still 💯, no shaking or anything, yes they're heavier than some real ones but these were affordable and surprisingly good! Now I'm about to pull the trigger on some konig hypergrams for my volvo s80, imagine going from 25lbs to 17!Should make a difference I think
Going on 2.5 years on my CE28SL no damage.
Well done!
He did great! -Edgar
I just bought some SVE R350 wheels. They're GT350 reps, but I got mine in bronze. They're flow formed, and lighter than my old Shelby Razor wheels, and will fit big brakes (regrets, I bought them 6 years ago when I knew nothing and thought they looked cool, they're also cast....). In my situation, they're an upgrade, and I got them in a color you couldn't get legit ones in. At the end of the day, I upgraded, and stayed in my budget. That being said, I did my research, and found that SVE are "good" reps. I could see the Chineseiam wheels giving reps a bad rep.
Could you guys please please do a so you want an Audi s4/s5 b8-b8.5
We can definitely look into it! 🤘
Well i've had esr cs15 on my rsx and it was a pretty good wheel despite the weight. Now i have avid av06 and i can't say anything wrong. I've only had rep wheels and so far everything is going well 🤷♂️. Who here got the same thing going on ?
The truth is if you don’t track/drift your car or plan on selling your wheels in the future, then there is no downside for having reps, and even if you do only care about performance, I’m pretty sure wheels are pretty far down the list of performance per dollar.
@@rabidlorax1650 yeah same opinion 🤷♂️ i took alot of corners and e-way entrance real hard and they stood up for themself like champ.
Blitz Z2 are my fav
What do you think about bc forged wheels
Good brand! -Edgar
This man's first video and he said he liked a different wheel, more than the Blitz 03. I respect the audacity lol. But this video shows why it's important to understand the difference between cheap and inexpensive. With cheap referring to something being poorly made, and inexpensive usually being g something of good quality but just missing some of the bells and whistles of the more expensive products.
🤝🤝🤝 -Edgar
I like how you don't act all crazy and move your hands around like the other Paul Walker lovers.
Sam is a gentle wizard. -Edgar
Should have talked about the Minilites, Panasports, and Watanabes and now everyone views each as a rep. Good video though, i drive reps because I'm going for a certain factory style on my mustang
I like the new guy much more chill
Cool dude. Good video. Less pops though.
Noted! Thank you. -Edgar

Let’s go! That’s the smart way to do it man. Sam would be proud.🙏🏽 -Edgar
Okay I really like this guy, his energy is great, and it was a good first thing to talk about, I will say the only thing I didn't like is that popping balloon sound. Like its fine, but if it was just used a littleee less, that would be great! But Great video, very informative.
Thanks! 🙏🏽 -Edgar
I want to do my BMW X5 but the site says you have nothing to fit my x5

I think the most biggest overlooked problem of what breaks rep wheels is the weight of the car. A lightweight civic I’ve hit some absolute monsters in my reps not a single bend.

👀👀👀 -Edgar
Cool guy, hopefully Alex will make more so u want vids
What an intro 🔥
So good isn’t it? -Edgar
I drive on reps because I daily use it and it still looks good. Also I can buy new sets if I change the styles and no not worry about breaking my wallet. Why buy expensive wheels for daily if they will will still get dented up and damaged hitting potholes at 50 mph +. My 2 cents. But for a show car or track use then maybe worth it.
i’m just now looking into to get some wheels, around how much are reps wheels ? not sure which to get as i am barely getting into this car shit
💯
Real wheels definitely have their place for certain builds. If you are just looking for something good on a daily you can 100% get good quality “reps”

question for the comments before i buy wheels this summer; are avid av6 wheels reps ?
They sure look like TE37s lol
@@festa289 thats wat i thought too, main reason im asking😭
When you track monthly! It's cheaper to replace a whole set than buy one name brand wheel.
