Those have too many spokes to be Carlsson replicas. Cracking and bending have a lot to do with the company that makes them. A general picture of the wheels and asking if they crack easily doesn't really help us determine anything.

Farlsson 2/20!!

A lot of people run replicas whether they be Carlsson, Brabus, etc... People don't seem to be complaining much and people are buying them. You'd think you'd drive more carefully anyway if you had rims, reps or not.

These days reps can be as good, if not better than some of the original wheels!
A lot of OEM MB wheels (not AMG) are made by Ronal who are well known for buckling wheels...

Don't believe what you hear about all reps being cheap quality, but do be wary that some still are!!

If you want the real things, I will be selling my 1/16s (18x8.5 and 18x10) soon. If interested, PM me.
