I know what your saying, but think of it this way why buy such an expensive wheel to go onto a car thats same price. just doesnt justify it  :huh:   Plus if you buy the reps who's gonna know the difference??  :wink:

lol yep, i like to have the genuine parts, pays in the long run trust me, quality is where its at, and getting fake parts usually means a drop in quality..and in the long run you spend what you would have done if you just bought the real thing in the first place
everyone is different tho and its each to their own but id rather stick with the genuine wheels untill i could get the real thing
plus if you put the copy rims beside the genuine i bet theirs a huge difference, (the ones in the pic look a bit cheepo too if you ask me, sorry)

Who cares? If your happy with the way your car looks then it doesnt matter.

As a side note, those reps are apparently generally quite heavy. I think they look good though!

I was going to follow the crowd and have BBS's or Porsche wheels but went for these, not everyone likes them but I have only ever seen one other mk3 with them.
