Replacement Wheels

I am looking for recommendations for inexpensive "knock off" wheels for casual street use, ie, the ones you see on e-bay. Are there any manufacturers outlets that are recommended or ones I should stay away from. This is not a solicitation for anyone's particular wheels.
Thanks
James Greer

wheelsandcaps. They've got good knock offs with very reasonably priced 18's for 600ish shipped. I havn't had any problems running them on the streets. I would never ever track with these though.

x2 if you are a casual cruiser and far from a performance oriented driver. Most of these reps are in the upper 20's to lower 30's weight wise, compared to factory BBS Porsche wheels which are usually in the lower 20's.

imports planet on ebay, stay clear, i got my wheels from them, everything was paid for, when ups delivers them they would not release them until i paid them an extra $50 for a (brokerage fee) i had never heard of that, i called imports planet & talked to yanger vais, said he didn't know what a brokerage fee was, he lied, but anyway he said he would sent me a cashiers check for $50, because that wasn't part of the original price, well its been 4 months & still no check, he still emails from time to time to see if i got it,being a smart ***, cause he knows he hasn't sent it, he's still mad at me for giving them a 1 star rating on ebay, after i did that he told me if i wasn't satisfied send back the check, the one he never sent.
