Does anyone have personal experience with these replica wheels?

Attached Image

At $185 they seem cheap and yah, I know they are not forged but they do appear to be permanent mold castings.

The pictures look pretty good. However, we all know pictures can be deceiving.

Shipping to SoCal is $311 so end cost is $262 per wheel or $1051 per set of 4.

I'm tempted but over the years we have all seen some pretty poor replicas so those with actual experience with this company and the wheels please chime in.

Thanks in advance,
Paul VDL

Lol ,funny I have 2 on the front ,had new tires fitting and the guy commented how true the wheels were ,minimal weights used for balancing ,almost 100% they will be Maxilite which mine are ,no bad reviews on there wheels but they do vary a bit in appearance over the Fuch's wheels ,cheers.

I've got 4 on my car in sizes 17x8 and 17x9. For the 200 miles I have on them, they've worked great. Others running them that I've seen haven't had any problems either.

I wish they offered a 7R offset in 16x7…I’d buy that.
