Check out the new 336 Reps
Hey friends. I was getting bored of my stock 18s and thus had been considering something new to make me look back again when I get out of the car (you've done it don't lie
). We all know the pros and cons of rep wheels. If not it goes like this, pros - cheap, cons heavier, not as durable, lower quality casting process, finish etc At the end of the day I am VERY pleased with my purchase. The wheels are of the quality I was expecting. They are not "out of round" and required less weight to balance than my factory 18s, although this is also related to tires too right? The wheels are 9.5 front 10.5 rear. I have experienced no vibrations at any speed, they came road force balanced with OEM TPMS and caps. I chose toyo proxy st II's (275 front, 315 rear), as I had heard positive reviews on this forum and elsewhere. Going to match the factory tint on the front windows next week. Might spring for the black kidney grills as well. Thought I would post some pics (sorry for the iphone quality and dirty x), as I would have liked a few reviews before I made the purchase. Price was $2000 + shipping. Bought them from a seller on Ebay (ray @wheeltech) who had a ton of good feedback, was very helpful on the phone, and shipped the next day.

They look great! Are you going to add wheel arches? Also, do you know the backspace on the rear wheels?

Very nice!! Those are reps? Look very good. You do need to complete the look with the wider wheel arches as the previous poster suggested.

I am wary of reps again after this vibration issue that balances won't solve... are you 100% smooth? What retailer?

Yes, no signs of any vibration thus far. Full disclosure this is day one! 70 miles put on though, had it up to 85 on the highway for 20 miles or so as well. Will keep everyone posted going forward. As mentioned above I bought them from wheeltech, a company I found on ebay and then called on the phone.
