Aftermarket wheels. Please advise.

Hello all.


I'm thinking to buy aftermarket 20" wheels for my GL for summer and keep my original 19" wheels for winter set up. I found 2 sellers on Ebay, who's selling the wheels I like. Does anybody have any experience with these wheels and sellers ? Please advise.


Here is the wheels:

Thank you all.

Are they load rated? Are they TUV approved? Be careful with replica wheels on a heavy truck.

I don't know the answer for any of those questions and I don't think they will provide me the answer I can trust Sometime ago I had experience with aftermarket wheels for my BMW X5 (at that time) and it was unsuccessful. That's why I'm asking guys on the forum about their experience.

I would stick with OEMs or reputable aftermarket companies. Stay away from replicas... There's plenty of scary videos on youtube.com...
