20" Limited Wheels - Replica's

[syndicate1]

So I've been looking for new wheels for my LE, mainly to go wider than the 7" stock pizza cutters. I came across some wider wheels on eBay that look IDENTICAL to the factory LE wheels. I'm trying to keep the factory look and I'm curious if anyone has bought a set or seen them mounted? Thanks!

There was a thread a few weeks back from a member who'd bought some wheels via the i-net ... nothin but probs and noone to hold accountable. Tire guy finger-pointing the wheels, etc.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd never buy something like this except from a reliable store who will stand by their product/services. My $.02.

thanks for the reply! I didn't see the thread posted a few weeks ago. Was the thread about "replica" wheels or about "generic / no-name" mfg's?

Damn, I don't remember. What I do remember is the poster had purchased some wheels online, then bought tires retail, and was having lots of balancing problems. Could well have been longer ago too ...... sorry. My takeaway was whatever he saved with an online purchase was really biting him in the arse now.

Call me old fashioned but I still do business with real persons, for the exact reasons posted above. Tires and wheels are much too big a purchase to take chances with. More of my $.02.
