So there are quite a few style 166 wheel replicas on ebay, does anyone know if they are made different manufacturers or a single one? What are your experiences with replica 166 wheels? Also, whats the best pricing on real style 166 wheels people have been able to get?

thanks

And yours look great at 18" too!

Are they more shiny than the original finished wheel?? Maybe thats why they look bigger than 18's?

Which seller from EBAY did you get them from? I'm considering the 18' replicas myself. Thanks
