Thank you (all) for your help! I know I'm not going to find a set of (insert high dollar brand here) for dirt cheap on Ebay and have it be legit. I was talking on the phone when I was writing, wasn't completely clear. I would, legitimately (I think), think it's possible to find maybe a used set from someone of a nicer wheel (Maybe even forged) for a good amount cheaper than a brand new set. That's more what I'm thinking, rather than Look, a $5000 BBS set for $799 including green valve stem covers!
Just trying to be fast, find a good deal (even or especially if) it's used, but not have the same wheel everyone else has.
Thanks for your offer of help to help me sort out a possible fake here or there, that would be a big relief.
Thanks guys!
