what are people's opinions on replica wheels?

been thinking of changing the wheel on the 996tt in the new year and am seriously considering opting for replica rather then genuine porsche wheels due to the difference in price.

what are people's opinions? if i do i intend to keep the standard turbo wheels so when selling the car i could return to standard.

i've been looking at the technology II wheels which are £995.00 + VAT inc. tyres (assuming not great tyres) vs. genuine porsche ones for £1995.00 + VAT no tyres.

is it acceptable or am i just being cheap on a 50k + car.

so am i best saving that extra and going for the genuine ones?

£995 for 4 x 18" wheels and tyres seems very cheap. I'd doubt the quality or either would be upto the punishment a 996TT can dish out.

the replica and genuine wheels i quoted above are all for sale at design911. i would hope that being a porsche specialist they would offer products suitable all models.
