ksteed Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I am looking at buying a set of replicas and wanted to ask you guys if they are all the same make, or are there good and bad replicas. Rochford, tyresave,& unicar, are they all selling the same wheel ? noticed that there are shadow chrome and flat silver ? which looks more like the original. Would appreciate some imput from you all. cheers guys kevan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvantSE Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 LOL, slightly off the point, but try and find out how much each weighs and go for light ones as well as how they look - see my thread on fuel consumption in the A4 section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnski Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I too have seen these wheels and wondered about the finishes, where can you get flat silver? the dark colour doesnt look as good as flat silver in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksteed Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 thanks for the replys, did not get a lot of it, so have gone ahead and ordered. Have ordered the hyper silver finish from topgear along with some rubber, and wheel centres. Now, when I have a bad day and kerb the wheels I can put the other set on while they are being repaired. Right, next stop, Re-Map & exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnski Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Get some pics up when you get them, I'd be interested to see what they look like...good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksteed Posted May 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 had them put on today, they look good, the hyper silver finish is the same as originals, put some toyo rubber on them and it drives well. Cant push the car too much to really tell as I am still running the car in. If you are looking for these wheels I would recomend them, topgear have branches all over the country.
