eBay OEM 18's... kinda
 
Has anyone seen these on eBay and bought a set or know someone who has? Looking for a set of these for my '03 Sedan... I thought they were original equipment until I read a little closer.

Does this seem like a bad idea?

I did a quick search within this forum but didn't find any relevant posts.

Thanks
J.

You'd be better off getting a used set off someone on this forum. Those replica's suck, they're 18x7.5, the real OEM's are 18x8

I can't think of a worse idea. "Made in the same plant". Um yeah. So you just decide to make them 1/2" thinner??

I wouldn't touch these with a 10ft pole. Especially since REAL ones are about the same price.

LOL! Ya, they are a little dubious at best. I'm all for spending a 'little' more for the real deal however, I wonder whether I can find a set in decent shape. I had looked at one set for sale locally for $650 (good rubber on front, cooked on rear) but they appeared to have been recently used in an off road competition of some sort... :rolleyes:

It's going to be far cheaper to find a nice good set w/ good tires than to buy these Fleabay knock offs and then buy tires. (even cheapo ones). Get a good set of used wheels with tires and you get the Michelin Pilots.

I've noticed it's hard to find a set in good condition nowdays. Seems people can't park :D
