CR Replica Wheels
Hey guys,
I'm in the process of shopping for a set of CR wheels. OEM's are kind of hard to come by and they're usually marked up and come paired with tires that I don't want.
Does anyone have experience with CR Replicas? Are they safe to use? I do track day occasionally and don't want to risk my life.
Also, anyone have an idea of how much they weigh relative to the OEM wheels?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I think it's interesting that these are so popular dispute being the heaviest oem wheel made for the s. at the end of the day there is plenty of 5 spoke wheels that are far lighter and cost about the same when you factor in powder coat and everything for the v3's. Anyways if you are dead set I agree with the waiting for an oem set to pop up.

I never bought replica wheels but here's a website I found on the forum a long time ago.
http://www.finishlinewheels.com/
We just had a discussion over the OEM wheels in my local forum, here's the break down.
2000-2003 AP1 OEM wheels = $150-$300
2004-2005 AP2 OEM wheels = $300-$450
2006-2007 AP2 OEM wheels = $450-$600
2008-2009 AP2 OEM wheels = $600-$700
2008-2009 AP2 CR wheels = $750-$800 (I don't see what makes CR wheels special? Darker Shade?)
