Best Looking Replica Wheels Ever!

Pangloss · 08-25-2011, 11:39 PM

Nice wheels. Not so sure about the orange center caps. :-)

I bet those wheels would look nice on a convertible too.

Yeah, orange. Last 3 pics currently posted. Orange. I dunno, I see it!

Reproductions or not it's a classic look, I like it. I do agree I'd ditch the BBS caps, seems untruthful. Not sure what I'd put there, but not those. It's sorta like putting a Ferrari badge on the hood.

they are red....... -______-

ReevesBMW · 08-26-2011, 06:34 AM

I personally think that they look PERFECT! I'm one of the people that could care less if they are reps. It's what you can afford. I would leave those on depending what wheels from Japan you got coming. Beautiful!

I think they look orange too. It's probably just a lighting thing, but in this picture they definitely look closer to the color of the amber turn signals than the red tail lights:

I don't mind the orange though, and I think they look great. I'm completely unfamiliar with wheels. How much less do the replicas cost than the real deal?

Focusedintntions · 08-26-2011, 07:30 AM

Very nice Schnell!! Kinda makes me want to swap my f14's haha.

tylerh269 · 08-26-2011, 08:32 AM

Doooppeee wheels schnell!

what offset are they?

Pangloss · 08-26-2011, 08:43 AM

If they're red that's cool. Sometimes the color mix in a photo can be slightly off, or else it's just a trick of the eye. I'm sure they look red to everyone in person, which is what counts. :-)

The hater-fairys are just hovering around, waiting to swoop in and sprinkle center cap hate all on you

MGallop · 08-26-2011, 09:57 AM

I think the answer is like 4-5 times? LOL

I think its red but just the illusion from the sun and camera?

m_killer · 08-26-2011, 10:53 AM

WOW they like nice

RobM23 · 08-26-2011, 12:10 PM

i like!

j&g bimmas · 08-26-2011, 12:34 PM

funny how just about EVERYBODY likes these "REPS" they look good bro! I would rock those in a heartbeat and i wouldnt dump 5500.00 on real LMs i would rather spend that kinda money on my kids! i mean why ?? unless you still live in your mommys basement or dont have a girlfriend to spend money on .

competition · 08-26-2011, 12:40 PM

1. The center caps are RED. Jzhang can vouch for me. They literally look like the real center cap.

2. I only put the caps on for shits and giggles. Trust me, I've owned enough baller wheels and talked shit on so many replicas that I wouldn't have put the caps on.

3. EuroTek LeMans
18x8.5 ET45
18x9.5 ET48

4. These are a fucking steal. I'm not even kidding. Call Bavarian Exclusive and get your own damn set! So please stop asking me to sell my set to you. I've received 5 PM's asking me to sell these. Someone already called dibs as soon as I posted this up! I would love to sell my set to ALL of you BUT, I only have 1 set.

5. Low pressure cast, weighs from 21-23 lbs, and looks great. I'm not complaining. Better than gravity cast

6. Thanks for the all the positive comments because these are my first set of replica wheels ever. Kamal, you'll be seeing this set at the 3rd week of September so sit tight!

S54dan · 08-26-2011, 12:50 PM

21-23 lbs for reps is amazing... they look great!

Dear lord. I'd stick with the reps.

Not to belabor the point, but I'm working on a color calibrated cinema display. Admittedly it's not an Eizo, but it's still pretty good. Either my eyes are off, his camera profile is off, or we have different definitions of red and orange. The left square is the color of turn signal, the center is the cap, and the right is the tail light.

1013mm · 08-26-2011, 05:32 PM

looks red to me!

ReevesBMW · 08-26-2011, 05:42 PM
