Wheel Decision/Search

[xe0s]

Ahh, good to know! The seller on ebay with the 215's I've been eyeballing are not staggered, so thats a dead giveaway that they're replicas? Seller doesn't claim they're OEM or replica, no mention at all of where they came from. I'd really prefer OEM but with little experience with rims I really don't know if replicas can be trusted. Can they? I've always used OEM wheels on all my cars for exactly that reason.

You guys and your 4.4's and 4.8's... makin me wanna trade up and be done with it. I love my 3.0i (and the pristine condition it's in) but I do wish it had a hair more 'Ooomph'

I have no problems using replicas. I know they are not as good quality. The price is the dead giveaway on replicas as OEMS don't go for $750 for a set - more like $750 EACH (new).
