R112 replica's on eBay

[Interludio44]

I spotted some cheap-ish R112 on eBay, after a quick enquiry I've been informed they are "non-genuine" (hah!).

Has anyone bought these?
I'm curious to see how they hold up in terms of quality/finish.

They can be had for ~£600 including run-flats and delivery, which is literally half the price of genuine wheels.

I know some people may be tempted to discuss the pro's and cons of replica/genuine wheels, but please can we stay on topic and discuss these replica wheels only. Thank you very much.

For reference, genuine wheels:

Not a fan of replica wheels unless they're supplied by a reputable wheel manufacturer. Wouldn't touch them with a barge pole unless they were.

You can pick up a 2nd hand set of R112s with tyres for around £600. I should know...i just sold a set for this price.

Look sort of similar, but anyone who knows what they're looking at could tell...

However, as long as they're made to a good standard and would pass all tests I can't see any reason why they'd be no good... Only thing is they may be softer, and could get damaged on potholes, but you can run that risk with OEM...

If you want them and can live with the fact that they're fake go for it - they should be alright...
