Title: Found good deals on alloy. GENUINE or REPLICA!!? HELP
Post by: ABaruwal on 04 August 2013, 19:48

Hello,

I recently bought a golf mk4 (first car) so have little to no experience with buying parts.

Since the tread on my current tryes are nearly the legal limit, I am planning on changing the wheels as a whole and get rid of the steel rims.

Looking around I came across brand new set of 18" Dotz Radium alloys with brand new ling long green-max tryes. No here's the part which has made me doubt whether the alloys are genuine or replica as the price for the whole set + tyres is just under £300.

Does this sound reasonable? or are these definitely fake?

I was looking at Dotz website and other alloy models cost considerably more.

Please help!!

Thanks in advance
