Default Differences between Replica and Ford Bullitt wheels?

What are the differences between the real, (Ford) and the replica Bullitt wheels... they look identical in pics, and the replica's are a little cheaper. Anyone had a chance to compare them for real?

Thanks
Mike.

not as well made, but still should be good. I want to get them, black with a chrome lip.

exactly what the guy above said...
A little less quailty but still a very good rim!
If you have the extra bucks to get some from a dealership i would do that... just peace of mind.

You all say they have less quality.....you have any proof?

Replicas are cheaper and they look the same.

Replicas > Real

Agreed. You people are just spouting off about **** you don't know about. You think b/c it's more expensive it's got better quality.

I had authentic 1995 Chrome Cobra R's in 17x9 and replicas in 17x10.5's and you could not tell the difference in appearence, weight or finish quality.
