Rareair,

I went through the whole process and research for at least 3 days. Here are some easy answers:

-You will NOT require spacers even if you get the replica wheels. The ones I got and blinkwatt are made in Italy. I do not think there are other SportTechno replicas out there.

-Wheelsandcaps have much better pricing than WheelDynamics where I ordered mine, however the only reason I did was because Wheelsandcaps did not have any more sets...also when I called them on the phone the guy didnt sound very helpful. I know quite a few replicas are made in China and I asked him where the SportTechnos coming from. His answer was "I dont know...".

-If you decide to go from WheelDynamics call them and talk to Carlos, ask for him and do not talk to anybody else until you talk to him. He is awesome, he gave me 150$ discount on the wheels (still more expensive than Wheelsandcaps) and he also gave me free shipping. Mention to him you are registered here and people from around the forums talk about his reputation.

-From WheelDynamics there is one year warranty on those replicas and lifetime structural warranty. I think Wheelsandcaps offer similar stuff.

Hope this helps! I kept my OEM wheels just in case....

p.s For the looks and only, its worth it. I also needed tires so it came out better.
