Good Or Bad To Buy??
I want to buy new rims for the my mini but really nice OEM Rims are ridiculously expensive so i searched on ebay and found these. they're most likely replicas but i want to know if they would be good to drive on. thanks

Personally I wouldn't take the plunge. I would think they are probably very heavy and who knows what the build quality is like. There are other option that are proven that aren't to far off your price point.
Check out Outmotoring.com or tirerack.com their a lot of options out there.

I'd think for $499 a pop or $2,000 for a set of 4, they better be pretty dang good wheels. I'd think if you're willing to pay $2,000 for a set of wheels, there's got to be a wide/great selection of wheels out there for you! And yes, I do understand that good quality wheels are expensive having paid $3,200 for a set of 4 CCW wheels for my C5 Corvette.
PS: Phx--- are you thinking a set of $2,000 wheels will be heavy and poor quality or are you thinking they are $499 for a set of 4. If so, one of us is really reading the ebay ad incorrectly!

That price is for a full set not just one wheel.

I actually was thinking about getting the R112 black wheels they were selling on eBay. If I recall correctly, they were 28lbs a piece. I waited and saved and bought myself a set of Breyton GTS-Rs

Phx--thanks for clearing that up, I should have scrolled down as it was clearly stated in the info below the picture. I totally agree with you, I'd run the other way from a set of 4 after-market wheels at $499. They will definitely be heavy and, most likely, questionable quality!!!
