Replica Wheels

I am looking to switch out my 214's for a set of 337's. I have to say it's awfully tempting to save $5k and go for replicas.

I did do quite a bit of forum reading about reps, but I was hoping to hear from anybody who has had reps for at least a couple of years. What problems have you run across? What should I look for when buying reps? Would you get reps or OEM in the future?

Thanks for any feedback!

I have 214 reps and have had them for 2 1/2 years now with no troubles. The wheels came with cheap tyres and i had trouble balancing them out but put up with it because it wasn't too bad. I replaced the tyres once the others were worn and fixed the problem.

I wouldn't buy OEM rims personally because my partner always drives the car and i would cry every day she came home with a nice new scratch on them. This way im not as worried!!!

I would love to hear others thoughts and if anyone has had both, noticing any difference?
