Cheap is cheap and replicas are cheap only in the short run.
Buying first replicas and soon after that OEM's will cost more,
much more.

Rep wheels are cheap enough to begin with. On average their only 1000 bucks.
If you're going to go the replica route it would make sense to spend a few dollars
more and get them brand new.

No, if your wheel is 72.5mm no need to use hub centric ring anymore 'cuz the wheel bore match the hub size.
BTW, if you going w/ the Miro M6/167 rep you'll need the ring 'cuz the low/small offset Miro for the RWD car bore size is 74.5mm while the high/large offset Miro for the AWD/xi wheel bore size is 72.5mm.

so if my wheels are 72.56 would i still need hub centric rings? Ive heard about getting rings to eliminate vibration issues but if the wheels are the correct bore and are hub centric are rings needed?

I have bought many items on ebay from "0 feedback" sellers, because as an ebay seller myself, everyone starts sometime. I once had 0 feedback, as did every seller.
But in the case of replica wheels for a too good to be true price, I would stay awat from those, which it seems you are. Good luck on the search, although you should do what you want with your car, not be influenced to believe that your chrome wheels are hideous (although I recommend a change
)

I don't think the center bore is correct ... and the offset in the description is 40 but in the auction it's something else.
This seller has NO feedback and has not previously sold (at least under this auction ID) on EBAY. That is a KEEP AWAY indicator! Especially for something as expensive as wheels.
There are "reputable" replica sellers on the forum if that's the route you want to go.
