OEM vs. Replicas


I have been searching out some new wheels for my car now that the sand and salt has destroyed my factory wheels. I am in need of 1 wheel right now due to my fron rim slammin a pothole and is now bent. I am wondering if anyone has had good/bad luck with replicas. How do they compare to OEM? noticable? from american muscle? please let me know. I am on my way outside now to rotate my wheels, get the bent rim in the rear and put the rears up front so i can actual have some meat on my drive wheels lol.
all info app.
