Added this to the first post:
So i went and saw the wheels. Took my own pictures. Check them out and now see if you feel any different. I honestly think the center cap and crappy lugs are what's killing these wheels.. after seeing them in person, they look incredible. The finish on them really pops. Looks like a quality wheel. If they are reps they're damn good. I'm still cautious.. i don't know what to think. The guy in person was really cool and very knowledgable. HE was cautious about reps as well when he bought them from another guy. He mentioned some of the things i read about fakes. For ex: Where The lugs sit, on fakes its much shallower. Real ones sit nice and deep like the ones in these photos. The story is he bought these used from a guy who had them for a while. That guy had the wheels refinished. This makes me feel they're real, because who would spend the money on refinishing Reps? IDK.. Anyways look at these photos. The wheels were on the car so it was pretty hard to get a decent shot. He's even willing to come over some day and pull the wheels off to weigh them and check out the back.
