20' Replica Help

I really want to get the 20" Style 87 wheels (as it seems most of you have or want-I just love that look!). I have been cruising the internet for OEMs including ebay and classified here, and either they get sold too fast, or they are out of my price range. I'd really like to find a tire and wheel package - there are no local tire installers in my area I trust to mount and balance (I've had rims scratched before). So with that I am turning to replicas. I have read many different post, both for and against replicas; but with my budget it seems to be the way to go.

Any experience with AFS wheels? Trazano tires? Input appreciated...

I just purchase my wheels from PowerWheels Pro (replicals of OEM Style 214's) - I love them....great service/great price. They also offer the replicas of Style 87's.........Power Wheels Pro :: WHEELS for your PREMIER car

inexpensive 20" tires are an oxymoron. All 20" tires are EXPENSIVE! Heck, I couldn't get out of any tire stores without spending over $1K for a set of 19s, let alone 20s.
