Question Factory 17" Chrome rims vs. AAA Knockoffs

Happy holidays!

I want to replace my factory 16" setup with the 17" chrome rims, but the local Lexus dealer wants $700 each.
A friend who owns a body shop can get them for me for around $400 each.
AAA sells their repro models for $900 for the set. Are these any good?

Has anyone had any dealing with AAA?

Would you spend the money on factory or are the AAA rims ok?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

if you only want chromed 17", the AAA one are good price. though i do not have any experience with their wheels personally.

if silver finish can also be your choice, take a look at tirerack for similar style italian made wheels at ~ the same price, jmho

The AAA rims should be just fine, my friend has them for a few years now with no problems at all.
