I think I agree with Papas, the wheels dont look staggered, rear 10.5 would have gone a bit lower and ofcourse wider! both sets looks identical, maybe its just the picture but definately they dont look staggered. I have 275/45/R20 front and 315/35/R20 rear... you can see the difference even 100m away.

I like the whole outlook, it looks great... I also think replacing my headlight to something smokey! But my wallet developed holes for now... not in a hurry.

I think it's just the shadows of the pictures obscuring the wheel depth. Look at the 2nd picture and and tire width compared to the front. It's definitely wider.

[QUOTE=SnoCat;723056]Got the replica 87's from wheelsandcaps.com. Paid $837 + shipping.

I'm seriously considering buying from them since i can't find used oem. How was your purchasing experience with them, any issue ? Fit and finish ?
And did you do a staggered setup ?

No issues whatsoever...Pretty smooth transaction. The wheels arrived on schedule and in good shape (no damage). No issues with the fit and finish. Yes, I did get the staggered set-up. Basically I saved about $700/wheel going with replicas over OEM's. I know the quality probably isn't the same but for that amount of savings you can just buy a new set-up of replica's every 2-3 years for what you would pay for OEM's. If I wasn't on a budget I would have definitely gone withe OEM's...
