Hi Guys ,

I am looking into replacing my 18' AMG wheels with the bigger ones. I looked into many different designs but one is coming back to me as it's my favourite when t comes to styling. The only thing that holds me back is the fact that they are replicas. It means I don't know where are they manufactured and what's the quality and strength of them. I don't want to find myself in the situation when one wheel will crack or something during high speed etc. Can you please share some of your experience with replicas ? Anyone bought this mode before ?

THIS
i can add even more even i know many will not like it
they are heavy and due to crappy Chinese equipment will vibrate like a hell
But you might be lucky , the link you posted looks like not a replica but OE

I used a lot of replica sets not only on my E350 Coupe and they caused me no problems.My winter wheels are as well replicas.But i must agree they are heavier.If you like them go for it.You will have no problems.

I was told by the company who sells them that those wheels are made in Italy , have TuV certificate and 2 year warranty. Really hard to judge apart that I like the design.

Mine came with fake AMG's. Not happy with them but can't decide on replacements. Have to be 19's without spacers.

Aiming to get Borbet XRT 19'.
