Wheels

Hi all, found these on the net...what you guys think? Do they worth that much? They are not original but they look ok, better than other replicas I have seen around.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Set-of-4-...item2c667e2028

Should I get these or the Rota MXR?

For that money I'd buy Gambit's genuine Enkeis.

im all for replica wheels, because hell not everyone can afford 4 grand for a set of wheels.

but in this case even knocking off the centre caps is a little too blatant for my taste. if they came with generic centre caps id say do it.

This car looks very sexy with BBS CHR but hard to justify a LOT of coin, otherwise a big fan of kiwami in bronze

If someone is in a spray canned S14 or something I'll look the other way but not for a $35k vehicle when you can get Enkeis, work, even flawless second hand RAYS wheels for under $2k.

Sorry for the confusion caused but I should have mentioned that I had two on order and I have cancelled one (that was due sometimes in Jan Feb) because I am getting a bit quicker (December). In a different circumstances i would've gone for the 13 plate but my personal cirucmstances force me to get the one that arrives quicker.

exactly. even brand new enkies are quite affordable (from around $1.5k depends on size and spec). no good reason to buy reps.

For even cheaper i can get some 16 inch ones too. The thing is I like the look of BBS lm's on the gts. The Rota mxr look very similar to these which look very close to the real BBS.

In terms of quality/weight which do you guys think is better? These BBS LM replicas or the Rota MXR? if you read the BBS replica quality warranty it seems they are quite good...but hey...what do I lknow?

go Rota... well estabilished, solid backing, decent quality (aside from all the people who love posting the same old images circulating the net since the stone ages.)

if this ebay seller disappears your up a creek without a paddle for warranty... who knows who even makes these.
