I vote for new the real thing, maybe even used. UNLESS you do no AX, track, or spirited driving.

With replicas you never quite know what you're getting.

For which rims?

On the Carrera Light replicas I have, I think they look better than the real thing, and here's why: In the rear, authentic wheels have a concave look to them. The replicas are flush with the car, and stick out as if they have spacers. Basically they appear to be wider.
