Replica Wheels.

I really like these rims.





Theyre replicas and are on Ebay for about 600 for 4 wheels.

Would you put replicas on your ride? Or should I stop being a cheapskate?

Are those supposed to be replicas of the sedan 18s or the coupe 19s?

Here's my take for the $600 purchase price:

18s = too expensive. You can find oem 18s here for that. Or run coupe oem 18s

19s = not forged so most likely not nearly as light. And $600 is almost the same price as used coupe 19s w/o tires.

I'm also thinking of buying some OEM 19" G35 coupe wheels... I was thinking about buying just the wheels and having them powdercoated black with a nice layer of clear coat on it for a glossy finish. There's a spot near me that does it for $60 a wheel.

Just having trouble finding brand new ones...
