I found a place that sells M3 lightweight replica wheels for a great price. They're 17x7.5 with a 42mm offset.

Price: $449 + shipping

That's about $112 per wheel!! I haven't seen any other brand new wheels that look this good go for this cheap anywhere.

Whoever's interested please post here and ask any questions you want. :wave:

Oh, and for 4+ people the price will go down.

How much lower?

I don't know. But if there are some people interested, I'll definitely find out.:)

pics?

Sure

how much does this wheel weigh?

Also, where is the wheel made? Germany, Taiwan?

Search the forums. I remember reading they're 21 lbs. I'm not sure about the country of origin.

that is pretty heavy for a "lightweight" 17'' wheel.

I don't think it's bad at all. The oem ltw's weigh 20 or 21 lbs I think. My contours weigh 24. It's a great looking, LOW COST wheel that's not bad in the weight category. That's why I thought some ppl would be interested. :dunno

it's probably heavier since it's a replica wheel. Great price tho.

Replica's for $450 each? Might as well just buy originals.

I'm sure this it is 450 for ALL 4 wheels. This seems to be a great deal. g/l with the group buy.

Read the first post; it's $449 for all 4!!! I may have to jump on this. Come on guys lets get this rollin' so we can get better pricing!

oh wow, thats such a good price! But man, i HATE replicas cracking and bending and all that. If you guys could give me a quote on the lowest price picked up (I'm assuming this is in LA area??) and if there is tax....I *might* be interested...

Actually I think the company is located in Florida. Sales tax may apply in that state alone. I'm asking for more info now. Let's keep this going!

Well I talked to the supplier. He doesn't think about group buys in the same way we do on the forums. He wanted to ship the wheels all to the same place to save on shipping. I think this is because he gets them overseas and may send them in a large bundle, directly to one location.

This is one email:

This is the latest:

Hi Kevin, I am interested but not this way. What you have is not a buying
group, they are scatter all over the place. There is very minimum I can do
for you guys in term of discount as my prices are already at wholesale level
and are one of the cheapest if not the cheapest right now. I was hoping that
you have one location to ship to so maybe I can help your group save some
money on shipping. Anyway, if you need some wheels, I will still work with
you. Let me know.


Not so sure he's the greatest guy to be working with, but he does sell at great prices, but further discounts may be unlikely.

If anyone's still interested, please post.

i am interested and i live in oc. are any other la/sd/oc people interested? maybe we have enough people to get them shipped to one place in south ca

is $450 the lowest he'll go? anyone know if these replicas are strong and sturdy? I'm in LA area and slightly interested, its got my blood flowing but not boiling.

I couldn't get in contact with the seller over the past few days. Still waiting on a reply for the lowest possible price, but this is already very good. It's up to the interest in it now. I'll let you know as soon as he gives me a reply.

If anyone knows some info about the replicas, it'd help to post it here. Thanks!
