Do you think the replica will make such a clean look?

bond: I believe I was running 235/35/19 fronts and 275/30/19 rears on Bridgestone RE050 tires.

I couldn't tell you if the knock offs will be as clean or not, but I can tell you the finish is definitely different. Mine had the dark chrome centers, which is subtle yet makes a noticeable difference to me. The knocks offs look like they are just painted silver. I would just get the authentic SSR's man, like i said before, they are not pricy at all, so why risk going with the knock offs.

you can just goto tirerack.com to get these. you can see the finish I was talking about too, they called it bright satin i think. I think you would run 8.5"fx10"r. Mine was slammed and didnt rub at all.

Cool

IMO....all three choices shown would be a DOWN grade from the nice ones you have now. (If that black car with the mesh ones is your car)

They all suck, sorry for being blunt. There are a lot better options out there by OZ, BBS, FVD, Champion, HRE, and some knock-offs listed at Wheel Dynamics

That is not the offset.....that is the wheel diameter & width.
