CSL reps versus OEM

///Matt · 08-15-2006, 07:45 PM

I'm able to get OEM 19" Competition wheels for about $400 per wheel, or Velocity Motoring for about $250-$300 per wheel.... it's not a huge difference in price, but it pays for some tire....

What would you do?

And no. no I can't get the same deal on the Comps for anyone else... I CAN however work out a group deal, but it won't be the same price, and I can't do it through this site....

Hey thats a nice price on the OEM. At that price differential, may as well get OEM, your resale will be better too.

That's a great price for OEM

, I paid a little more for replicas.

How much did you pay for your reps, Axel? they look awesome.

AxelLopezzzz · 08-15-2006, 08:34 PM

I paid $350.00 each, you know...everything here pay more. They not only look good they feel great! No rubbing at all.

What would you do?

I would get the OEMs if I were you.

I have the Velocity 18" replicas, and while they look awesome at least my set needs a lot of balancing weights (on one of my rear wheels needed a 105g whopper) which suggests their build quality is not quite top notch.

Also, the OEMs have that nice little "wave" in the front spokes so car geeks like myself can see they are the real deal...
