Well especially if you are interested in upgrading later, I'd try to find some for a reasonable price used on the forums. That way if you do decide to upgrade you hopefully will be able to get around what you paid for them. But keep in mind I think it's a lot harder to sell rep BBS than authentic BBS online because they are a lot of sets out there I've seen. Even authentic BBS have been sitting for a while. It seems to be a buyer's market right now.

good points about resale. You can buy a replica set for $1k, and its resale will be around $500 in a year. Or pick up a used set for about $2500, and barely lose any value if you can keep the condition up

Yeah, I had my BBS RGRs for 3 years and didn't really end up losing money on them since I got a good deal initially.

To me they don't look as good, especially close up, but some people don't even know the difference. In the end it's really up to what you think.

I run my car pretty hard. The thought of a wheel failure is terrifying, so just looking for reviews..

Would you buy a "replica" BMW, and pass it off as the real thing? Reps are fine for low-end cars like Hondas, but why on earth would anyone put any ripoff product on a fine machine? Doesn't make a lick of sense to me. Be like my Mini - go real or go home!

I'll gladly rock reps, maybe even with some bbs caps on them... and when somebody asks me "OMG are those real!?" i'll say "nope. they're reps " and I'll keep the extra $4000 difference I saved in the bank. (or spend it on other mods! fml)

Do you wear a $15 "Rolex"? Me neither.
