I haven't upgraded my wheel, but I do plan on it in the near future. I'm going to get OEM 19's. From all of the horror stories I've heard re: replica's, I'm staying away from them.

20" replica style 87 upgrade

I am planning to upgrade 2001 3.0 with sport package to the 20" replica style 87. Would there be any potential harms to the car? I have not heard any negative feedbacks regarding the upgrades until this one that jaaX3 posted.

I don't think it will do any "harm", but if you're going from a 17 or an 18 on a 3.0 up to a replica 20, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the car felt noticeably slower to you, especially on launch. I think the replicas are heavier than the OEMs, & you're going bigger to boot.
