GP Wheel Replica

What does the GP Community think of the GP Relicas? I like the look and in the market for a new set but like to hear your input.

I most likely will go with a set of OZ but figured I'd throw this out there.

They look good, I heard that they are not the same quality as the originals though. I believe a good friend of mine who helped me come to America has a hand in this somewhere, I saw his companies name somewhere in a thread on this ( Rochford Tyres, UK ).
Since putting the SSR comp type CRS wheels on my car yesterday, my wife now wants my GP wheels, , curb scraping , but my health tells me it might be for the best, especially if I want to do more track day's .
For those of you who get these wheels good luck, I think they will look great .

You may want the replicas for your wifes car and keep the GP Originals pristine and stored away.
