Replica wheels??

[McDub]

i got mine from tempe and am fairly pleased. though they advertised them as "exact replicas" made from the "exact" materials...
it was pretty obvious they were not exact replicas when the lug caps did not fit into the wheel cavity, and my standard tyre iron also scratched the paint in the lug wells (i've since filed down the corners of my tyre iron)
Plus the colour is different. pretty obvious to tell the wheels apart, but i'm not fussed they still look good for the price.
oh and these "exact' replicas are 8" wide instead of the standard 7.5", and the offset is 35 instead of 38... haha. makes em better but once again, don't know where the "exact" comes into play!
i requested KU31 rubber for the package, great tyre for their price.
i do however get vibrations through the steering wheel at around 110km and over.
i'm don't think it's the wheels, as it is only under throttle that i get the vibrations, which suggests the C.V's, but i'm still a little skepticle. getting the cv's looked at on tuesday.

I got A8s through Tempe too, got the KU31 rubber aswell, was the cheapest i could find at the time by $500 even after shipping. and they were the only place to throw in/include VW centre caps
The wheels were great until the finish on one started to come off (common for A8s style), and they dont know much about the product (wrong offset for my car). But other then that, they are great for replicas and range and cheap tyre packages
