i was looking at this from ebay before i bought the real ones. Their not as concaved as the real ones. To each their own. If you can get real ones, go for it. But if your on a budget then get em.

I was seriously considering the style 166 wheels when I upgraded. I love the way they look. I was looking at OEM wheels not replicas. After going back and forth, I went with a new set of Miro 111's over a used OEM set. Good luck with your purchase!

Thanks Gents... I think I'm going to do a body mod first before I spend close to $2,000 on OEM rims & tires.
I'm thinking....M5 front, M5 side skirts, MTec Rear with quad exhaust setup. That should be around $2,000-$2,500 worth of work.

There are some good replicas out there. The 166 Reps IMHO are not one fo them for the reason mentioned above. They are no where nears as concave and are almost flat.
