They may be copies, Typhoon rims don't come with Falken rubber they have Dunlop. I put a set of black 19" phoon rims on my car and they looked different, everyone loved them gave it a race car look. In the end i hated them.

What do you want to fit them to? Remember Typhoons have different offsets between front and rear rims.

They certainly looked different, everyone else liked them on my car but they didn't really do it for me. Most said it made it look like a race car being so low with blacks rims, i did a skid next door to work as they were filiming a 2oosx doing circle work then Decided to go back again with my old 18's on and never took them off and sold the 19's.

The rear rims stick out further than the front, assuming you put them on the right way........

Throw some photos up when you get them on, did you get them with tyres?
