New 18 X 8 A Spec Wheels $118?

Was playing around with some files to find info for another thread and came upon these:

http://www.wheelsandcaps.com/catalog...=2004&Type=886

Don't know about the quality, but thought I would post it for those that might be interested in not only the A Spec 18" size wheels, but even 17" factory duplicate wheels.

this place is a sham, they do not carry any of the wheels they list. They have to source them and chances are they can not find them. I tried these guys out before for 3 other cars all with failed results.

I've seen that site before. I just assumed they are aftermarket, non-OEM wheels.

They have to source them? So are they sourcing damaged OEM wheels and refurbishing them? Or do they have a way to source replicas of OEM wheels? I can't see where they would get replicas from.

Sham as in they dont rip you off, but they do try selling stuff they dont have and WILL refund you, they wont steal your money.

Yes they source the wheels, they are all refinished, not replicas.

they are not replicas but oem wheels refinished. There are a handful of places that carry these, but it seems that the low priced ones never have them in stock for the listed prices. The part # 71735 is the Hollander factory part# that is used when they were made for acura as well. They are not a bad deal, however, i ended up finding a new set on sale for only $200 more than what these places were wanting.

I think I'm going to e-mail them. If they're just refinished, but still OEM I might give them a try. $473 for A-specs is a great deal refinished or not.
