O.E. Wheel Distributors on ebay?
I found these wheels on ebay:
Has anyone purchased wheels from these guys? Any reason why I should avoid these guys?<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Audi-A4-A6-A8-S4-S6-S8-V8-RS4-RS6-wheels-rims-silver_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43958QQihZ019QQi temZ290104687047QQtcZphoto">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Audi-A4-A6-A8-S4-S6-S8-V8-RS4-RS6-wheels-

BTW, they look just like the Harman's but a lot cheaper and there 18x8 instead of 18x8.5.<ul><li><a href="http://www.finishlinewheels.com/specials/14,AUDI/303,Audi+RS6+Sport+Rims+18x8%C55+%28Set+of+4%29/">http://www.finishlinewheels.com/specials/14,AUDI/303,Audi+RS6+Sport+Rims+18x8%C55+%28Set+of+4%29/</a</li></ul>

Damn, acct #4747 and less than 200 posts? Lurker :)
Well, I've heard of them, and seen their stuff on eBay. I don't personally know anyone who's bought any wheels from them but they have over 20,000 feedback comments, and out of that 277 are negative, so that's a pretty damn good ratio for a business. But eBay feedback can be deceiving because many people post feedback before any real time has lapsed where quality can be tested.
However, it might be worth it to give them a call and ask them some questions about their replicas. Not all replicas are created equal. Some are made/painted in China, others in Italy, and so on. IIRC, supposedly some have said that reps made in Italy are of higher quality. And then there are some that are made in China, but painted in Italy? I think those are still not as good since they were not actually made in Italy. That is what has bounced around on the forums, but I honestly wouldn't know how to tell the difference.
Maybe give them a call, ask them for some background on their wheels (e.g. where are they made, etc)?

This is my 2nd A4. I've been posting here since I picked up my 1st (2001) A4.
You know how it is. You get a new car and you're really into it at first and as time goes by you become less and less into it. Well, that's me.
I recently started posting here again because I had to decide whether or not I wanted to turn in my lease or buy it. I've since decided to buy it so now I'm looking at putting some nicer wheels on it and fixing it up a little.
I'm probably going to go with the Caressa's. I just wanted to know about these wheels because they're so cheap.
