Default Replica Wheels

I know Ive asked this question before, but i need some response about the quality of the wheels because I decided to finally order some set of wheels from mike at cruizinconcepts. (I waited too long to get some before the meet and i was kickin my self, because everyone elses looked killer)

So what experiences has yall had with these wheels? any defects? problems with balancing? damage?

Does anyone know if I can change out the center caps on these?

i have replica wheels, and the quality of them is great, no chippin or anything, there is a small little less then 1 cm dent on one wheel, but i dont think anybody besides me would even notice it lol, i think they r great wheels, and ya you can change the r, when i was gettin mine installed the guys popped them out and asked if i had some others to replace them, i said no and they just snap back in. simple and quick

I've had a few different replica wheels over the years, and they have always been of satisfactory quality. You will also have a slew of different center caps that you can choose from.

Construction might and durability might be fine, but I'll wager they are pretty heavy.

Mine are replicas and I changed my center caps with no problem and like the others said... you will have lots of caps to choose from. I have noticed a couple real small spots in the chrome that look like they missed during polishing or something but overall Im happy with them.

I can tell you this. Our wheels go through a QC inspection before shipping. They are shipped insured so if they get damaged during shipping. We'll take care of it for you. If they get damaged a couple of months down the road. They are covered under a 1 year finish and lifetime structure.

I have those exact wheels that you've pictured. I really like them and quality seems good so far. I went from the stock fanblades to these in 18x9 all around with 275/40/18s. One thing though I could really feel the weight difference between the smaller stock wheels and tires and these.
On another note, I have the ZR center cap. Where can I order new center caps from?
