I sort of wish I would have picked those up for my winter wheels. I opted for replica 997 Turbo wheels and the weight is just too much, particularly in the rear.
Snow tires and heavy wheels are not a good mix.
One of the rears cracked this winter, shredded the expensive tire and most of the wheel shops that sell replica wheels will not discount a replacement, they'll bill half the cost of all four replicas.
So the cost-savings went right out the window. Spending $200 on spacers didn't help either.
Or maybe Forgestar does the same thing. Best to call and ask what the cost of replacing one wheel would be. If you drive on winter roads, which take a beating with the salting, its likely you'll damage at least one of those wheels beyond repair.
