They typically tend to be of questionable quality at best. The reps are cheap for a reason and they don't look quite as good as the OEM ones. For the money of the OEM reps you can buy VMR or Miro or any number of other decent and affordable brands.

All reps are the same regardless of the brand name you buy them from.
The main difference is the quality of the wheel you buy and how it's made, NOT the brand.

Some brand names are very popular, that doesn't make them better, just popular.
Our wheels are also popular, just less expensive because we don't sell wheels as our main business so we don't have to support the "brand" identity of the wheels with higher prices.

We sell 4 wheels for 18s from $600 and 19s from $700 for all 4.
Those prices are shipped and we can get almost any style for you.

Before you do...we've had a lot of success with these, they should look "familiar"
