dont do it, be proud to rock which ever brand rim you can afford and buy. i see nothing wrong with buying reps but dont put some other brand label on them. its like buying an Old Navy polo and putting a Ralph Lauren polo logo on it.

No I wouldn't but what I'm stating is that the OP should do whatever he/she chooses and don't just jump on the bandwagon.

You drive a Lexus. Knock offs are not for me. At this rate people should but camrys or altimas and slap Lexus badges on it since they want the "look".

It's one thing to rock a cheap low quality knock-off and it's really low to rock it then put on a fake centercap.

Wear fake Jordans too with a fake roles and a fake Hugo Boss shirt smoking a fake cigar drinking sparking wine like it's champagne!?

Why even buy a Lexus?

^ lala. its okay. they will learn. all in do time. Honstly 99% of the time, you can tell the differnce between an "ebay" modified IS and one done legitly....Not saying that all ebay parts are reps and have bad fitment, just using ebay as an expression if you will.

to each to their own, it's your money. If I could afford $3500 plus tires then be it... but if you can't , just make sure it's some rims that won't fall apart on you on the free way. If you get reps cause that's all you can get then be it, just don't POSE it as a authentic BBS or something.

This.

I would/ will rock reps. But if someone were to say to me "Hey, nice wheels" I would reply "Thanks. They're (Insert brand) reps."

I like the LM reps, but I don't think I've seen them for sale without the "BBS" caps.

This is what I'd meant by bandwagon, that just cuz a group of people say this/that, u don't have to follow. Instead, do what u wanna do. Now I'm not saying go ahead and throw on different center cap on every knockoff u see out there but if that person choose to, so be it. Everyone has his/her opinion, this is just me rolling my 2 cents on the table.
