It's a lot easier when you have set your eye on one set of rims and then just go out and look for the the best replica or real thing there is.

whoa, cheap, but they don't look as good as the more expensive replicas priced at $1000-1200.

I think those might be Moven's and just so you know Moven used to get their LM6 reps from my friend's company in Taiwan and because Moven is currently in a lawsuit against some other company my friend decide to stop supplying them when they place new orders. So, Moven now are getting these from China.

easiest way, man! to get some 18 dual spoke AMGs. They are definitely a lot cheaper than Brabus, Lorinser, Carlsson or other name brand. LOL
