I found mine on eBay. It's work. You must wait for them; I sat on it for 2 weeks before this one came along. You sort out the results by milage weed out the newer models then check it twice a day until one shows up. Also, you must be willing to travel in order to get it or ship it. Mine had 28K when I got it back in September. Still under (extended) warranty.

It's hard to recommend a spacer size without knowing the offset of your wheels. Judging by the look, I would go with 20mm. Get the bolt-on spacers style. |
Hey TMV,
Thx for the welcome. It's good to be here.
It's funny how these things go... The wheels are not what I thought I'd go for either. I was thinking more in the lines of style 336. I knew I wanted Machined face black, to get the darker theme going.
When I saw the wheels on the car tho, it was suddenly a different story. They look sharp. They are very similar to the Konig Airstrike, if you are familiar, which was always a personal favorite. They add the black while keeping the integrity of the silver of the car. They are also pretty minimal which adds the calipers (needs painting) and discs into view. The look grows on you, I tell ya.
In the end, I must admit, it was a financial decision. I did the math and figured a set of Replicas with just okay tires would have set me back just under 2K, which I was reluctant to spend at this time.
The cheapest I could price the set I got for 1K is ~$2300. The Michelin Diamaris tires are practically new. The 2 Crave wheels are not bad either, certainly beating the Replicas in quality and weight. It was too good of a deal to pass.
On the spacers - could you please turn me in the right direction? I was going to get the ECS tuning set, but they are not bolt-ons (if I understand you correctly). Is there a specific brand preferred by folks on this forum? (A link would be most helpful). Thanks!
