Re: any bad experience with replica rims?
nope. it's always ok until it turned bad. My previous replica rims were ok till i sold it off again.
My advise: you can still get refurbished original ones and cost a lot less but authentic. =)

Re: any bad experience with replica rims?
depends, if u lucky then no problem, if sway then troublesome.
see heng sway.
Original rims sway chances lower.
Replica rims really very nice and cheap.
BUT, last time i bought a set of used original Enkei rim, one of the rims can never be balanced.
naked eyes cant see, only wheel balance machine will tell.
i find it sway, end up traded in to tires shop.

Replica rims are cheap and great looking if not put under stress most of the time. If you go ridiculously fast in NSHWY or track aggressively in Sepang, better to go for the real stuffs. Having said that, there are good quality replicas too.

You wana compromise on your passenger and your own safety to save 1 to 2k? Yeah its your choice.
Replica rims are made using gravity casting method. Under normal driving conditions, no doubt they will hold up. All it takes is one pothole and your rims will crack

Speed doesn't test the strength ....... Potholes is the test.
