I had the replica's and I wouldn't buy them again. I curbed 2 of the wheels and boy just slight curbage resulted in some really bad scrapes, one wheel had a pretty good chunk taken out of it. Not sure they are as sturdy as they should be.

And finally I could never get the rear tires to balance right; despite multiple tries with different balance machines. I always had vibration starting at about 55 to 60 mph (worse when cold) and lasting up to about 70mph. The wheels looked great and I got lots of compliments, but now I wouldn't go that route again. With some diligent work finding a set of take offs of the OEM ones which should be available on eBay or maybe craigslist.

I was gonna get them repaired (the curb damage) and the cost was about $200 for the wheel and considering I paid $800 for the entire set it didn't make sense to fix it; rather wait until I messed up more and then replace the whole mess.

In the end OEM would rule out in my book, unless there is another brand that doesn't have the vibration problems that I did. Also, I'm not sure that I'm sold on 20's in a city that has rotten roads. It just got tiring in San Diego and also here in Portland getting beat to death by the ride.
