Has anyone purchased a set of replica wheels that are listed on ebay? GS430 18 inch style. Wondering about the quality and how they look compared to the real ones.

 

they look identical, quality is probably inferior, hard to say, let us know how they hold up if you get a set....personally I would not purchase a set of knock offs, look around in the classifieds and find some used ones...

 

Yeah, I thought I read somewhere that they aren't the same silver color as the actual oem wheels. I am curious to see if anyone has put them on.

 

I did buy those. All I can say - dont see difference in quality and looks. My OEM rims though need to be replaced - all of them, b/c of corrosion developped under the paint - go figure - not to mention that I used them less then a year

 

warranty should cover that.
they can't say you scraped it

and i wouldn't buy fake oem rims with the real ones being as cheap as they are,

 

i will just say read my sig

 

stay oem....

 

Q? - A. I'm not trying to convince here noone. I'm telling what I did. So far - no regrets. OEMs hopefully will be replaced soon... Those are 17'' and came with the car - using for winter.

 

I thought about doing this a while ago and found that they are of considerably different quality than OEM. I think the ones I was looking at were 4-5lbs lighter than the same OEM rim...makes you wonder why, and not in a good way.
