Why whats wrong with replicas??? Even dealerships use replicas, when i was at Fletcher jones not too long ago i was looking at some SL & E 55's and i noticed they had replica Brabus wheels on. I was like wow....but then again most people cant tell the difference.... I had replicas on my E for sooooo long and only the reall good car guys could tell, other than that no one else knew or gave a shit. and with that extra 2-3k i saved on buying replicas i put that into other things....
If you have the means, the real thing is much better, but if you dont wanna drop $$$$ then reps are just fine also.

Replicas can be great and most often work fine. I have them for my snow tires ---- just buyer beware. Another point is that the forum has been able to get significant saving from local dealerships (e.g., Crevier, Newport) so that gap in saving by going replica is narrowing. Good luck if you go the replica route.
