Post photos of your replica or after-market wheels

I'm considering the purchase of winter/snow tires and would prefer to buy an additional set of wheels.

I'd love to see photos of your after-market or replica wheels to help me know which ones to consider.

92 viewings later, looks like no one wants to admit they own a set of replica wheels...

I think the issue is most replica wheels are the 20s which aren't winter wheels. I've never seen or heard of anyone here buying / finding rep 18s or 19s.

I bought a set of OEM 18"s for my winter studs from a fellow forum member. Keep your eyes peeled. Don't buy 19"s though if you want studs; no one makes studdable 19"s!

I was going to go with 18" or 19" wheels for the winter tires, depending on the available sizes of the wheels I like.

Will I get better performance / traction by sticking to the 18"?
