Virus 2nd Gear May 10, 2004 Share May 10, 2004 Yep ! Normally replica is heavier, material used not as good. Will deform or crack under extreme pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluz Neutral Newbie May 10, 2004 Share May 10, 2004 The finishes of the "originals" are clearly much better. I was at Stamford Tyres and saw the AMG displayed next to a replica (same design same size). You can see that the AMG finish is much nicer. Which one to get--it depends on how much the money (the difference) means to you. Good luck in your search. As for safety--i was told that they all need to meet a certain International safety standards. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
