Nothing wrong with replica wheels, just buy from a reputable seller. The shop I work for sells many many MB replica wheels, especially for winter time. We rarely have any issues, but always be sure to have the four wheels spun on the balancer FIRST to ensure they are true and concentric. I've only seen one wheel out of whack thus far, but once they're mounted it's too late to return and exchange

Not sure if you understood what I meant. I recommend anyone who buys replica wheels to have the WHEEL only, before you mount the tire on it, spun on the balancing machine to make sure it spins perfectly because once you mount the tire on it and THEN put it on the balancer and notice that it's not perfectly round it will be too late to exchange the rim.........

you think those replicas will clear the BBK? Most don't.

Now, you gotta SLAM your ride so it doesn't look like a 4X4.

I really don't think those rims are the "best ever", but to each his own. As long as YOU are happy with the rims, that's all that matters =)

I bought them off ebay for $500+$70 shipping. They do have them in all chrome and I believe it's another $200 added to the price.

I have had them for maybe 6 months now and I have had no problems with them. I have also drove with them through some preety rough roads and they didn't bend.

These are the wheels that I bought, except now they raised the price and shipping a tad.
