Exclamation Looking for feedback from anyone riding on Replica Wheels
I am considering buying a set of replica wheels found on ebay to upgrade my 18's to either 19's or 20's. Real ones are nearly impossible to come by. Has anyone had a good or bad experience in rding on replica's? In particular the balancing (or lack therof) issue. thanks.

I was going to buy replica's, but just heard too much negatives. Unbalanced wheels, finish defects, and they are also heavier than OEM wheels.

I have17" Replica B58 as my winter set. It is good balanced but heavier then the original. The paint was tore off just for 2 winter months without any physical damage.
And now they factory covered with matt titanium powder (3 years warranty).

Can't find black or carbon caps =(

Bought a set of replica 168s in 22" off eBay and so far, they're perfect. No issues with balancing.
