I'm intending to change to original 17 inch sports rim ..

the tyre shop advertised it as original stock.

how to know?

its too cheap ... $300-500 per set of 4 rims.

 

example.

too cheap ? I say $400 is too expensive. 

1. Its used

2. Its sprayed black

3. Its inclusive of trade in. 

4. You need tyres right ? So they earn again. 

Stock rims, except for some has no value one. Am pretty sure is genuine. Have not seen/heard of any fake "stock" rims before [laugh]

If its me, I would buy it at tops $200.

Ya, just a layman to these sorts of things. Nowadays, they say genuine original also come from China. 🙂

Anyway, if it's real, then I am good with it since genuine rims are more sturdy and well made. 

 

sidetrack a bit, You got any idea those selling amg steering wheels with airbags for $1,200 to $2,000 is real mercedes one or real replica one? LOL.

I am thinking of chaning my 4spoke wheels to a 3spoke wheels. But also worried about safety.

JUST TO share

I had never Doubt of all this Products made in CHina if they are original Parts.

You can try Autokinetics at 290 MacPherson Road, they specialize rims and tyres for Audi. If you want high quality forged rims, the boss is also manufacturing it locally, which they have ready designs or can help you to custom make designs to your desire.
