Anything wrong with buying these rims?

[MTheory]

Cheapest set of 4 I found was for 500:

Ive never seen ones like this in person and Im wondering if they are ok? Are replicas a big no-no?

looks like they'd be fine. My sister has different replicas, and they've done her well so far.

They look ok. it's just that usually cheap rims especially low profile replicas will bend really easily if you run over a bump. So if the roads are bad in your area, dont get them.

Those wheels look like trash.

i didnt know wheels were electronics:confused

[kevsbeamer]

dont see much wrong with em, just dont get too low pro

They look good and the price may be too good to be true... Im not so sure about whether that site looks ligit.

[MTheory]

Its has to be legit because they have an ebay store also. Im also sure they make some money on $100 shipping. I'll order them later today and I'll let everybody know if they are ok.

Im wondering if anybody has or knows somebody that ordered the same rims and how they like them in person? A shiny wheel in the picture doesnt tell me much.

[SQ Bimmer]

If a picture of a shiney wheel doesn't do much for you, then why risk buying them?

See, I thought the same thing, the picture either does the wheel no justice, or it makes it look way better than it actually is. I need to see better pics of a wheel before buying it over the internet, at least with rubber on it.

OER wheels? Blah, I'd just look for some used OEM wheels...

Just curious if you ended up buying these. I'm considering it but can't find anyone who has purchased them. Thanks

[MTheory]

I did, been driving on them for a while now, they look great, no bends. Ill snap a pic tommorow if u want.

:needpics (installed on the car that is)

Let's see them!

Pictures would be great. I've got a 325 vert that will get about 2,000 weekend miles a year so I just want a good looking rim with reasonable quality.

[redmcoupe]

pics on car would be great

[MTheory]

sorry dudes, I havnt been ignoring I was on vacation. I will get some pics tommorow if its not raining.

[MTheory]

Here they are. Sorry the rims are a little dirty and these are crappy pics. Im selling my car, converted to the darkside and bought a mustang a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the pictures. It looks like the finish has held up right? Now that I'm actually considering these the price gets raised $100 for the set. Go figure...SInce your selling the car would you consider selling the wheels and tires? I've got stock 15" with brand new Kuhmo AST, less than 500 miles. Maybe we could do a swap? Thanks agin for the pictures and good luck with the Mustang.

I kinda want to keep them on the car because I couldnt ask for much in a trade and I cant outright sell them because I dont have my originals. The car has 210k, needs a little body work, power seats dont work, and lots of little things need attention. So the rims might help me sell the car in a way haha. Plus the tires on the car are almost bald. The finish has held up expt for on a small area on that one wheel. I think it got slightly corroded because I gave the car to my sis for 4 months and I dont think she ever washed it:rolleyes but no other complaints
