Which brand is more well-known/established and has better replica wheels. Moven or Miro/Alt?

Miro is NOT good. I had a set of their M5 reps that were returned the day after I got them due to miserable quality and finish. The only word I can use to describe them is "toilet". With that said, everyone has different standards - I just don't want to put crappy rims on a $40K car.

If you want new rims, the best advice I can give you is to avoid reps. I went through two sets in a month. The quality of what's currently available is just not as good, unless you really know what you're getting. If you *must* have reps, wait for Carlos to get his place up and running - at least you are guarenteed that the quality is the same or better than OEM.

Otherwise, get a good aftermarket wheel. You don't need to spend a lot. ASA and OZ both have options from $119 and $199 per wheel. It's definitely a much much better choice.

Good luck...

Def dont go the replica route. You paid good money for your car- so why would you wanna short change yourself by going with rep's?

While I completely agree with the statements in Re replacement wheels, it does depend on usage; I got replica wheels as my dedicated winters - I do not need great quality for winter (on the contrary actually, it will hurt me less if a pothole claims a replica).

I agree that cheap rims are OK for winter, but why would you buy reps when you could pick up a set of ASA JH3's for $119 a wheel? It makes no sense. Even the most rancid and crappy of reps are normally $150 each or there abouts.
