Hi Guys,

I loaned my 97 VR4 to a friend the other day and she pranged both right side wheels into a curb hard enough to put some serious dents in the rims. To the point that the tires are deformed and the rims aren't quite holding air anymore, so it's a couple of new wheels for me...

The car still has the original 18" wheels and I just want to replace the two damaged ones with the original factory wheels (I know aftermarket wheels may be cheaper but I want to keep the original look).

I've been looking around online and calling local dealers and I'm finding these "OEM replica" wheels from CCI for about half the price as factory wheels. One place I called claimed that these _were_ the factory wheels and I'm not sure if he's feeding me a line or not.

Does anyone know anything about these CCI wheels? Are they really the OEM wheels or are they a cheap knockoff?

Thanks,

Peter
