Repros??

I'm thinking about buying some 19' repro Lorinser LM5 from highline wheels in Florida. They "of course" say that they are great and that you can barely tell the difference. They come with the regular 1 year warrenty and are about 1/3 the price of real LM5's. Is it worth taking a chance because I can't afford $4,000 - $5,000 rims? Thanks Eric

you have a benz, enjoy it as is for awhile unitl you save up enough loot to get the real thing, or pick a set of rims that isn't way too taxed. knock off parts on a benz just isn't the way to go, dont sell yourself or your new car short.

Well, its not my car. I drive it sometimes but my daily is a dodge truck and weekend is a triple black verted vette. So I'm not looking to have the best of the best. My girlfriend wants rims and I not willing to pay 4 to 5K. I just want some feed back on these replica wheels. I think I've decided to buy a set of LM5 style 19x8.5(produced by Konig) all the around for $2,150.00 shipped with tires(sport contact II's) included from Wheel Exchange. If anyone thinks this is a bad choice let me know but I'd love to hear of someone that has them and likes them. Thanks Eric
