Additonally, an aftermarket company has recently been producing and selling reproduction wheels on ebay
*Note, the repros are cast, not forged. NBD unless you plan on widening.

Just out of curiousity if you were to get one of the cast would you have problems if your other three are stock. Wouldnt the one that weights different throw things off with bearings axles and such??? I dont think it would if you have 2 one the back or 2 on the front, but what about if you had one cast and one stock on the rear what would happen? Just curious not gonna do this myself.

I'm in the same boat as you. A buddy was helping swap over to the EBC Brakes. When he went to put the Pass Rear Wheel on, the wheel was at an angle when he started to tighten the lug nuts. He scratched the ****nit out of one of the lug nut holes...... :alone:

Flat rate repair no matter the damage, UPS turn around, or, drop of at one of seven locations nationwide, will polish and clearcoat like new, even paint the inside of the wheel for you (extra charge). I have used them a dozen times now, great service.
I've been to their Arlington Heights, IL. facility, and the walked me through the production floor, stock room and their processes. It's a dirty job, but it's alll up to date and latest technology.

OEM_Wheels on ebay sell our OEM wheels if you can catch an auction for a good price. I just bought one with a rear tire for $315, treads were good, had a small scratch that I couldn't see from the auction. Other then that smooth deal.
Here's the auction I won,

Dayum, I gotta remember that. Worth a drive from Orlando if I needed some.

His reply:
Our replicas do not have the clearcoat. The luster of the finish is the same.
I also asked him if there would be an issue, using one of his cast with 3 forged factory wheels:
No issue at all using these wheels compared to the factory. Guaranteed.
