Question Do these wheels seem too good to be true? Ebay..

The title of the listing reads- 4 New 19" Rims wheels for 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Infiniti G37 G35 - 575.


And down at the bottom, it says- "We are a high quality retailer; we only retail after market JWL VIA certified rims or the OEM re-manufactured rims with one year suppliers warranty on manufacturing fault and anti corrosion. We only sell cast aluminum and forged aluminum rims to ensure quality."

$580 for 4 19" wheels? Doesn't feel right.

Technically it's $660 with shipping. Apparently they're not experienced enough to spell "experianced" correctly.

You get what you pay for.

With certain items (such as wheels), I think it's best to pay more but buy locally. If there's a problem, there's a face to complain to.

"You get what you pay for" Not always but in most cases, yes!!!

Good luck with these - The seller has good reviews so you can try your luck

They are good looking wheels. But personally I would probably never buy wheels off Ebay... Wheels are a big purchase, I need to see them in person especially in cases where the make and model isn't specified. They do list a phone number, wouldn't hurt to give them a call and ask some questions to feel it out..

Damn those look sexy..

That is a typical price for "replica" wheels. Looks like a BBS fi-r replica.

Most have good luck with replica wheels for everyday driving, but here you will probably get bashed by others for considering them.

Make sure to post pictures if you get them!

this is kind of weird too.. If you check out their Ebay store, they have wheels listed as 20" that look identical to the 2014ish Q60 coupe wheels - and they're asking crazy money for them..

PCD 5X114.3, Infiniti 20 Alloy wheel items in INFINITI store on eBay!

Hey they're only like 3 hours from me. Not sure what Venom is talking about, they have almost 1k reviews with 99.5%, that's pretty damn great. Any idiot can leave bad feedback for getting their package in 2 days instead of next day so if they are doing this well, this far out, I'd trust them. Worst case, you'll get every penny back from Paypal and probably still keep the wheels. I've never ever been permanently burned from eBay, I'm not a total fan of how they do business but if there's one thing they do right, its buyer protection.

They look ok, but for only a hundred more you can have the real deal as far as superb quality, strength, brand, weight. https://www.parts.com/index.cfm?fuse...2DD03001EA2510

Wheels, brakes and suspension are critical components. Do you really want to buy some cheap replica ones which do not have any safety testing and put your life and everyone else on the road in danger? All just to save a few hundred bucks?

Bash me if you please... but the purpose of this thread was to get opinions and/or personal reviews of this particular seller.

I've seen enough videos/pictures of cracked, broken replica wheels to know better than to buy a set.

If all of their wheels are actually fake, non-certified replicas, and they state that all of their wheels are "JWL VIA certified," then they need to be sued.

Can't we all just have a happy discussion without bashing one another?

Well, true.. I was actually looking at those too. I tried Google Image searching to see G37 coupes with those wheels, but wasn't successful. Do you know of any?

Further research...

"VIA marks or limited load marking can only be displayed on products that comply with verification test conducted by the Vehicle Inspection and registered with the Council. In addition, VIA marks and load labeling marks must be used in the stipulated sizes and styles.

As the VIA mark is a registered trademark, displaying the VIA mark without VIA registration means unauthorized use of a registered trademark, and hence is illegal."
