JCW replica rims?

Hi guys,

From what I've seen from a little bit of forum surfing, seems like JCW rims are really popular, and TDR pro racing 1.2 seems popular to others.

I really like how the JCW rims look like (R95, 105, 107 etc), too bad the price is a bit too steep for me :(, so that's why I'm doing replica hunting

Does anyone know anywhere that sells JCW replicas? or any opinions toward why I should or shouldn't get them? I came across this site http://www.finishlinewheels.com/MINI...04/A-59463U20/ (I can't tell if it's replica...the price seems too good to be true for OEM)

This would be my first time buying aftermarket wheels, so any expertise from the veterans would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

The link is for OEM like replica rims. Not sure about quality and finish but they look very close. JCW rims come in both 17x7 and 18x7 sizes.

Your link has a much discounted price. Not sure why.

This site also has some OEM like rims but it's not extensive-

Another good one is Breyton Wheels, they do tons of aftermarket BMW rims and seem to have quite a few for Mini Coopers.

www.Breyton.com
www.TireRack.com

I have some nice Mini rims I'd like to sell if you are interested. Let me know and I can send pics.

Also, on this note. If anyone has seen replica rims for the new 2009 JCW rims, let me know.

They look like this:

I have found some Breyton's (below) that are pretty close but not exactly the same so I'm hoping someone has seen some that are even closer out on the web.

The guy is considering JCW knock-offs, I don't think he wants Breyton wheel price or else he'd get the JCW wheels. Breytons are quality (expensive) wheels, I think the dude is looking for cheap wheels, quality might not be an issue for him.

Went to see the JCW knock-off you linked, I'd wait til someone sells them in Marketplace, those are the old JCW design usually pretty cheap hear on NAM.

Not sure if these are sold, but gives you an idea of what price to look for the real JCW wheels (and tires included), take your time if your tires still have tread you can wait til they wear out before pulling the trigger on Replica Knock-offs.

Check these real JCWs here on NAM
