Replica wheels on ebay
Does anyone know anything about the following wheels ?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=247480447 4&category=43957
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=247495410 4&category=43958
i.e. does anyone have experience with replica audi wheels,
1) not a nightmare to balance.
2) not going to bend on the first pothole.
Thanks
Grant.

Re: Replica wheels on ebay
ive been thinking about those too. however i think that on those, its pretty obvious that the centercaps are cheap knock offs. does anyone know if OEM centercaps would fit on those??

wheel exchange replicas
i have been using the rondell rs6 replicas sold by the wheel exchange. w.e. has 2 makers for these, an italian company and a german company. the german ones, made by rondell are a little more expensive but they are also tuv certified/spec'd, the same as all other high quality german wheels. rondell is not well known in the usa but very popular in euro/uk market.
these are very good wheels....i am very satisfied with this purchase from the wheel exchange. the finish on these wheels is identical to the oem rs6 5 spokes and much better looking in person than on the w.e. website.
their "audi" center caps are crap, but the oem caps fit perfectly for about 20$ each.
i will post pics and a more detailed report on the tire/wheel package soon, but so far i am very satisfied with the rondell/toyo package from w.e.
i haven't owned the achtuning replicas but their record for service and delivery pushed me to look at other options. also they have been very vague about wheel wts (i have seen 5-10# differences quoted from them for the same wheel/size in different messages/boards) and i have seen their rs6 replicas and they don't look any nice than the rondells.
my view from owning and reading about the rondells is that it is a very good cast wheel, lighter than my stocks s6 wheels but still very strong... and the transaction was painless, just forget about their center caps and buy from audi.
cheers
