As someone who has 177 replicas, i look at it this way. If you spend a pretty penny on a set of OEMs, you will hate yourself more when you scuff or rash them on a curb. With replicas, if I ruin them, I won't be as angry knowing that I didn't spend a whole ton of money on them. They look great and close up finish-wise, they're OK, but they're good enough for me.

So...where did I get mine, I used Wheels & Caps on ebay. Some on this forum has sworn against using them, but I gambled and it turned out ok. YMMV.
