I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with RWC replicas. http://www.replicawheelscanada.com
I've see these on the Evo-Motorsports site for a good price and I'm tempted to get them. Anyone bought RWC? Any general comments about buying replicas vs. OEM?

ref.: EVO-10237

I used to work somewhere that would carry their stuff. It's not bad. I think in 5 years we got one rim that was damaged in shipping. They all usually balanced up alright. You get the look you want for less than oem and their pricing isn't too bad.

as did i, RWC were their number one chose for aftermarket wheels. They were used mostly for winter tires packages but still. Solid Company

So other than a rim damaged during shipping you never had any customers comeback and complaining about a damaged rim after it was installed? I mean, obviously it happens they can be damaged, but rather defective rims?
Also, any idea if they are made in China?

I'm not sure where they were made to be honest but no never complaints. I'm not talking I sold one or two sets either. We used to whore out tons of them.

I did go with some Mallory Replicas from RWC. Been driving on them since March with absolutely no complaints. Here's how they look on my Rabbit.
