Any reason to not use non-AM alloy wheels?

[AsherL]

I'm having to upgrade from 18" to 19" wheels on a V8V, due to difficulties sourcing 18" tyres (apart from continentals).

Unfortunately oem rims from the dealership aren't cheap. Is there any reason to not consider getting other non-AM rims? And then fitting those with the oem pirelli...

Thanks

If they're good quality, the same offset etc and you like the looks, why not.

I am selling a set of 19 inch AM option alloys that were on my car. Recently refurbished, have a look:

you will not find these any cheaper anywhere else and in this condition too.

Postage to South Africa might be a bit much though...

Yep, foreign shipping a bit harsh i suspect, but thanks.

Okay, so seems like i need to start pricing 19" wheels and then any of the bridgestone pirelli p-zero, michelin supersport...
