New Dubber

I know they aren't the real deal.
It just gives people who want the look a chance to have it without having to fork out 25% of the cost of the car for wheels.
Replica's will still have to meet the same ADR rules and as long as you aren't going for the wheels to reduce weight for trackdays it shouldn't make a difference at all.

light wheel would be beneficial not just on the track.
ride quality, fuel, unsprung weight, acceleration, decel, inertia...
depends on the budget though.
