Re: Replica or original rims?
oem or replicas, they all look the same, probably good reps maybe even feel the same! ... BUT...
just to share a personal experience: several years back wifey (with both my toddlers in the car, belted up) was 'banged' at highway speed to the kerb by a mini truck going out of control (obviously quite bad damage to body panels) but more important is: wheel very badly kerbed and mildly deformed, but no cracks, and tires stuck firmly on without losing pressure, so wife could even drive the car home after the accident. It was a BBS RK II...
looking at some of the damaged cars with broken/cracked rims at sin ming and sometimes on the road, i was so glad that the few thousand more spent on the RKIIs paid off more than i could imagine.
i can't imagine if the rims cracked/broke in that accident, and the whole car went out of control with my whole family in it. it's worth every cent.
no nid to track. just nid to be on the road to justify a good set of rims.
