Replicas of what wheel? They look a little bit like the AC Schnitzer Type III Two-Piece wheel which is painfully expensive.

Does anyone have any thoughts regarding the quality of replica rims?

tdocz,

those look nice, and probably even better in person. For wheels with a lip, I suggest 19s or 20s. I don't think these would look nice in 18s. As for quality, I think they are slightly of lesser quality, but the big difference of the replicas is probably the added weight. Cost these days comes in strength and weight. But if you don't race and you don't hit potholes it may not matter. It is all up to you.

Good luck!

I have 19s and the ride is just a bit harsher compared to factorys 18s but I come from a car with a PSS9 suspension kit and 18s, so the ride is perfect to me.
